Mr. Klaff's top 20 multiple choice predictions and what the answer usually is ... 1. If you see: House of Burgesses, Mayflower Compact ... the answer will be, "early forms of democracy" or early "republics." 2. If you see: John Marshall = answer is he expanded the power of the federal government, or Judicial Review. Marbury v. Madison = Judicial Review. 3. Why did Immigrants and African Americans move to cities? That's where the jobs were! 4. If you see: Nativism = fear of foreigners = installment of quota systems regarding immigration (favored western Europeans who spoke English.) 5. Federalism = Division of Powers between the Federal Government and the States!!! See Chart Below.
6. Don't confuse federalism with Checks and Balances!!! C and B is checking Branches (Legislative, Executive, Judicial) of Government! Ex. Veto, judicial review, impeachment. National Gov, checks itself -- has nothing to do with states in terms of the Regents Exam. See Chart Below. 7. If you see: George Washington = the answer is most likely "neutrality/isolationism/noninvolvement" 8. Why did we have a weak Articles of Confederation? Answer: fear of a strong gov, or power to the states was preferred.
10. WWII = Lend Lease Act, Cash and Carry = a move away from isolationism -- becoming less neutral. Pearl Harbor and D-Day occasionally come up. 11. If you see: Why didn't we ratify the Treaty of Versailles? = Neutrality.
13. We got involved in WWI because of "the Boat, and the Note." (Lusitania, and Zimmerman Note) 14. Trust = Monopoly ... makes the rich get richer. If you see Unions (AFL), Sherman Anti-Trust, or Arbitration, the answer is something like "to help the small guy and consumer out." 15. To repeal an amendment ... must ratify (approve) another amendment (like the 18th and 21st for prohibition.) Speaking of ratifying ... think Federalist Papers for ratification of the Constitution ... Hamilton vs. Jefferson.
16a. Manifest Destiny also settles the Frontier ... Transcontinental Railroad = answer is usually increased trade, and settlement. 17. If you see: John Hay -- think "Hay look ... it's China!" The answer is always about trade in Asia for Open Door Policy Note: Questions 1-3 usually have something to do with geography. Most notably -- Mississippi River = Navigation, New England had trade, the South was agricultural. New Orleans was a port for trade. 18. If you see: How did the US respond to massive immigration ... QUOTA SYSTEM is usually the answer. 19. Did you know that the Supreme Court did not support FDR? That's usually a cartoon question.
20. Not in your textbook if it's old. In 2001 the US created the Department of Homeland Security to protect American citizens.
AMENDMENTS TO KNOW (scroll down) NOTE ... YOU MUST KNOW YOUR COURT CASES -- CLICK HERE FOR COURT CASE SONG. 1. SPEECH, PRESS, ASSEMBLY, ETC. Court Cases include - Schenck, Feiner, Tinker, and Engel. 4. Search and Seizure = Mapp, TLO. 5. DUE PROCESS - Miranda 6. ATTORNEY - Gideon 10. RESERVED POWERS FOR FEDERALISM 13, 14, 15 = RECONSTRUCTION AMENDMENTS. 14 -- Equality in Plessy, Brown, and Korematsu. 16, 17, 18,
19 = PROGRESSIVE
16 = (Six has an X, so does Income Tax) 17 = Seeeeventeen, Seeeenators 18. = Prohibition -- used to be old enough to drink at 18 (21 repealed it ... makes it easy to remember.) 19 = WOMEN'S VOTE 22 = TWO TERM LIMITS (two 2's in 22) --------------------------------------------
REGENTS MOST USED PRESIDENTIAL ADMINISTRATIONS, AND WHAT THE ANSWER USUALLY IS.. TR = Square Deal ... help the consumer and average citizen. FDR = New Deal ... Gov. helped the people directly Truman = Fair Deal (came up like once) - carried out the New Deal liberalism. Johnson = The Great Society = Help the Poor! Educate!
Charts for Federalism and Checks and Balance
THEMATIC ESSAYS Click here for every Thematic and DBQ topic since 2004 Thematic Essay = If you click on the above link, you will see that commonly you can use Reform Movements and Geography. I'm also thinking Court Cases are imporant. To be on the safe side, I recommend knowing 3 Court Cases REALLY WELL. Especially Plessy and Brown vs. Board of Education. Reason being ... even if the essay isn't on court cases, per se, you can still use a court case to answer something like "Turning Points" or "Civil Rights of Minorities." DBQ ... As for the scaffolding questions ... if you see two lines ... write three! Don't get skimpy on these easy questions! BIGGEST TIP I COULD POSSIBLY GIVE YOU: ON ALL ESSAYS -- IT'S QUALITY AND QUANTITY ... IF YOU ARE SKIMPY ON HISTORY, WE WILL BE SKIMPY ON YOUR ESSAY GRADE. ESSAYS ARE THE BULK OF THIS TEST!!!!!!!! I know this may sound weird, but I have never seen the same choice 4 times in a row. So if you see 4 C's in a row, double check it. Three in a row comes up often, but 4 -- not yet. But, they can change that, be on your toes. PS -- Hamilton!
