There will be one or two constructed response questions on your exam. With this in consideration, lets practice writing a few! Your assignment for today is to respond to the following three questions with a constructed response.
Remember, you should start your response by restating the question in the form of an answer. You should also use an example to back up your claim. If you fail to use an example, you will likely not score well on the question. It is always a good idea to use the vocabulary of your subject when answering the question as well. 1. Read the excerpts to respond to the item below. There should be no bitterness or hate where the sole thought is the welfare of the United States of America . . . we will continue to seek to improve working conditions for the workers of America—to reduce hours over-long, to increase wages that spell starvation, to end the labor of children, to wipe out sweatshops. Of course we will continue every effort to end monopoly in business, to support collective bargaining, to stop unfair competition, to abolish dishonorable trade practices. Franklin D. Roosevelt, 1936 The Great Society rests on abundance and liberty for all. It demands an end to poverty and racial injustice, to which we are totally committed in our time. But that is just the beginning. Lyndon B. Johnson, 1964 Evaluate the degree to which the principle to “promote the general welfare,” as mentioned in the Preamble to the U.S. Constitution, has been used to maintain constitutional democracy in the United States. Use one detail from the excerpts above to support your position. 2. What amendments to the constitution were added to appease anti-federalists prior to ratifcation? Why were these needed? 3. Explain why our national congress is bicameral. Why did this occur? What function does it serve?
