<p>^^^^^Gloria Steinem would probably be a good addition to the list of feminists; Lillian Wald is a slightly more obscure name than Jane Addams, but she was also a proponent of the settlement house movement. </p>

The elastic clause’s exact wording, I believe is something along the lines of giving the government the ability to pass all “necessary and proper” legislation for carrying out the provisions of the constitution; it is also known as the basket clause (unsure if that is capitalized or not…?)</p>
<p>As far as I know, the exam does not emphasize the most recent administrations, but please list important modern events/facts/names that might be relevant to the exam. </p>
<p>Example: </p>
<p>PATRIOT Act: made it easier to for government agencies to legally obtain private phone, email, and other communication measures; formally defined domestic terrorism, etc.</p>
<p>Bush Doctrine: foreign policy development in the wake of September 11th which
essentially declared that the United States would not bother to differentiate between terrorists and the nations which harbor them</p>
<p>(Bush Sr, Bush Jr, Clinton, Obama, Reagan administrations are also probably considered “recent,” right?)</p>
<p>Monroe Doctrine: Basically said that the Western Hemisphere was no longer open to European colonization and that any attempt to interfere with American governements would be considered an attack on the United States and hemisphere as a whole. It also stated that the US would not interfere in European affairs.</p>
<p>Roosevelt Corollary: Said that the United States would act as a “police power” in the Western Hemisphere. It would be used to justify sending troops into Haiti, Honduras, and the Dominican Republic in Latin America. </p>
<p>Good Neighbor Policy: Policy enacted by FDR which said that the US would act as “the good neighbor” towards other naitons in the Western Hemisphere. It included the Pan-American Conferences in whihch the U.S. pledged to never again intervvene in the internal affairs of a Latin American country. It was also used in the Platt Amendement for Cuba and in Mexico where Roosevelt rejected corporate demands to intervene in the seizure of US company land in Mexico and instead encourage American companies to negotiate a settlement.</p>
<p>^Jefferson Davis. He was a weak president because the Confederacy was all about state’s rights and there wasn’t a strong, central government in the Confederacy like there was in the Union.</p>
<p>The “New Look” was the policy of diplomacy which Secretary of State Dulles enforced, or tried to enforce, during Eisenhower’s administration. It included supporting the liberation of “captive” nations, threatening massive retaliation with nuclear weapons to prevent Soviet aggression, reducing conventional forces and arms, and putting the two communist giants of the Soviet Union and China against each other. Basically the idea of brinkmanship.</p>
<p>Alexander Stevens? Idk, you might be thinking of Adlai Stevenson, who ran and lost both times vs Big Ike.</p>
<p>Question: Why was McCarthy so popular even though he never had evidence and didn’t actually prove anyone was Communist?</p>
<p>Question: Say good or bad to the following dates if the economy was in a healthy state or arecession, respectively. Medium if it was, well, medium. Give a description if you want.</p>
<p>I think it was just the McCarthy was able to feed on the anticommunist fears of Americans more than anything. He milked the media and was very appealing to working-class Americans.</p>
<p>He gained popularity during the Second Red Scare, a time when many people were a bit paranoid about Communism. People thought that there were spies in the U.S. who leaked secrets to Russia. Russia used espionage to attain information about the atomic bomb. Thus the Soviets managed to build their own atomic bomb. People probably believed McCarthy’s claims since he seemed like some kind of “crusader” who fought against American Communists.</p>
