US History (Wednesday, March 1, 7th period) - MIDTERM
Students will find that there are papers face-down on each table. On the board there are the following words:
'Sit down. Do not turn your paper over until told to do so. You have until the end of the lesson (3:50pm) to complete the examination.'
When everyone was settled and enough time had passed, Lord John spoke to them. "You may begin work."
1. Why did the Articles of Confederation not work?
a) The federal government had too much power.
b) Every state had to agree on every decision and since they didn't have email it took too long to get anything done.
c) Because Washington hadn't been put in charge yet.
d) Because the Republicans and Democrats were too busy trying to kill each other.
2. Under the Articles of Confederation, what was the only branch of government?
a) The Judicial Branch
b) The Congress
c) The House of Representatives
d) Department of Defense
3. What two bodies of people made up the government under the Constitution?
a) The Communists and the Republicans
b) The winners and the losers
c) The House of Representatives and the Senate
d) The President and everybody else
4. What are amendments?
a) Annoying extra laws that were thrown in at the last minute.
b) Changes to the constitution approved by a complicated majority.
c) Additions to the constitution that each President can make once he's in power.
d) Good with ketchup.
5. Name something official that Washington did once he was established as President.
6. Name one of the not-so-great acts that John Adams supported when he was President.
7. Why was Jefferson such a great President?
8. Pick one of the following topics and discuss it:
* The War of 1812
* The effects of the Industrial Revolution on the United States
* The development of women's rights
