2010 AP United States History Discussion

<p>its 7:30 in socal right now</p>

<p>Liberty of conscience was defended by Roger Williams on the grounds that
(A) all religions were equal in the eyes of God
(B) the signers of the Mayflower Compact had guaranteed it
(C) Puritan ideas about sin and salvation were outmoded
(D) theological truths would emerge from the clash of ideas
(E) the state was an improper and ineffectual agency in matters of the spirit</p>

<p>E.</p>

<p>Why did some Democratic-Republicans accuse Jefferson of acting like a Federalist/</p>

<p>because of the LA purchase</p>

<p>Got it down to A and E, I’m leaning towards E because the Quakers thought all religions were equal. Roger Williams was just accepting of all types of Christianity?</p>

<p>M v Madison: Judicial review
Fletcher v Peck: State can’t violate contracts
Chisholm v GA: lead to 11th amendment
McC v MD: federal supremacy
Gibbons v Odgen: federal govt has exclusive right to regulate interstate commerce (ICC, Wabash v IL, etc.)</p>

<p>Scott v Sanford: congress can’t prohibit slavery, slaves are property</p>

<p>E.C. Knight v U.S.: limited Sherman, restricted definition of commerce</p>

<p>Debs v U.S. & Sch v U.S.: govt can restrict rights during times of emergency (also brought up in Korematsu v U.S.)</p>

<p>Whitney v CA: upheld communist conviction (somewhat overruled in Dejonge v OR, and then the SC had another about face in Dennis v U.S.)</p>

<p>Youngstown v Sawyer: Truman couldn’t seize mills</p>

<p>Brown v BOE: obvious</p>

<p>Boynton v VA: segreated buses were illegal</p>

<p>Heart of Atlanta v U.S. and Katzenbach v McClung: Civil Rights Act of 1964 applied to private entities</p>

<p>U.S. v O Brien: cant burn cards, govt can restrict speech when it had a legitimate purpose</p>

<p>Lemon v Kurtzman: 3 part test for estahblishment clause violation</p>

<p>Mapp v Ohio (extended Weeks v [some state i forgot] to states): exclusionary rule</p>

<p>Griswold v CT: 1 3 4 5 9 14 amendments implied privacy (Roe v Wade)</p>

<p>U.S. v Nixon: executive didnt have complete right to privacy</p>

<p>NYT v U.S.: pentagon papers, right to free press was more important than national security</p>

<p>Gitlow v NY: started incorporation (previously, the bill of rights only applied to federal govt as stated in Barron v Baltimore)</p>

<p>most of those come from gov review; i think those are the only important ones in regards to history (unless you wanna get into some obscure ones like Cox v NH or Grayned v Rockford)</p>

<p>I tried to go in chronological order as I went through history in my head but I failed; too lazy to list years or italicize (sorry!)</p>

<p>

Thanks for regurgitating the REA Crash Course lol.</p>

<p>Roger Williams was not a religious egalitarian. He believed only ceratin sects would go to heaven, but believed that the government shouldn’t interfere in religious life anyways</p>

<p>Jefferson was my fav pres</p>

<p>other than embargo act…</p>

<p>@junhugie </p>

<p>He was following a loose view of the Constitution by keeping the National Bank and the “treaty” for Louisiana Purchase. The Democrat-Republicans had a strict view of the Constitution while the Federalists had a loose view of the Constitution.</p>

<p>Yeah</p>

<p>Don’t forget the Yazoo Land scandal</p>

<p>how many different party systems are there? and what are the years of each party system?</p>

<p>@Jersey13 haha, yep! I have it all memorized basically.</p>

<p>You should know:
Federalists
Anti-Federalists
Democratic-Republicans
Whigs
Republicans
Democrats</p>

<p>Other notables:
Free Soil Party
Nativist Party
Progressive Party
Bull Moose Party
Socialist Party
Dixiecrat Party</p>

<p>That’s just off the top of my head. There are probably a few more third parties that are somewhat significant.</p>

<p>Libertarian Party as well</p>

<p>would Jersey or anyone else provide a brief description next to each one?</p>

<p>@antonioray to be honest with you, if you do not know the basis of each political party right now you most likely won’t know it on the exam. Political parties are the basis of U.S. history. Cramming isn’t the best idea the night before, just relax…you will do great!</p>

<p>i’m almost 100% sure there will be nothing on the ap test about the libertarian party</p>

<p>You should know:
Federalists - Hamilton, for the North and business people mostly
Anti-Federalists - Jefferson, mostly for the farmers
Democratic-Republicans - Federalist gone and Anti-Federalist creating this part
Whigs - opposition to Jackson
Republicans - depends which era
Democrats - depends which era</p>

<p>Other notables:
Free Soil Party - against slavery
Nativist Party - Aja Know Nothing Party/American Party, against immigrants (especially Germans + Irish)
Progressive Party - fighting “bob”, reforms
Bull Moose Party - Teddy Roosevelt mad at Taft, so create this party so he could run again
Socialist Party- communism
Dixiecrat Party -???</p>

<p>*I might be wrong on some…</p>

<p>That’s just off the top of my head. There are probably a few more third parties that are somewhat significant.</p>

<p>yea but I took the time to do the SC cases for all of you</p>

<p>anyways, please correct me if I’m wrong; these are what I know off the top of my head</p>

<p>Federalists- Hamilton, wanted strong govt
Anti-Federalists- Jefferson, states rights, K and Va resolutions, etc
Democratic-Republicans- spin off of AF’s
Whigs- left after 1836? mad at jackson; whig presidents didn’t accomplish much (or so I think?)
Republicans- started mostly with Lincoln; at turn of century and in 20’s, it adopted pro business
Democrats- Jackson was a Democrat, severely weakened by Reconstruction and then again in the 60’s</p>

<p>Free Soil Party- wanted complete banning of slavery (ran Fillmore, I think)
Nativist Party- Anti Immigration
Progressive Party- TR Taft, Wilson
Bull Moose Party- split of the R party in 1912
Socialist Party- debs, huey long, wanted more radical leftist intervention
Dixiecrat Party- split in 1948 after Truman wanted Civil Rights on the D platform</p>

<p>EDIT: damn I was beaten as I was typing</p>

<p>and yea, it depends on era. Who were the predecessors of modern republicans? of modern democrats?</p>
