<p>Now that we are allowed to discuss the FRQ portion of the exam what did u guys think. I knew all of them except for the definition of polciy agenda but i bull crapped my way through.</p>
<p>What did you guys think?</p>
<p>bump. come on people discuss</p>
<p>I didn’t take it, but I heard Plessy v. Ferguson/ Brown v. Board were on there. I could get that right, I don’t get why that was on the AP test.</p>
<p>I can’t even remember all the questions. What part of the national government was originally the most closely linked to the people? How did suffrage expansion/17th am/something else move US gov closer to a democratic system? Some things that inhibit voters. Policy agenda and media impact. Errmm… differences between House and Senate that would make a bill pass one and not the other… can’t remember anything else.</p>
<p>We get our free-response packets back in class, so might as well just go over this with your teacher than on here</p>
<p>^some of us don’t have gov right now though. I had the class first semester and some people independent studied for it, so it wouldn’t be totally useless if we talked about it on here. <strong>hint hint</strong></p>
<p>^ meh guess you are right, but concise answers > speculation for the students who are able to go over the FRQs with their teachers. For instance, my AP eco teacher was also my AP gov teacher :p</p>
<p>lets see what i can remember.
1.
A) linkage institution (house)
B) limit majority rule (electoral college, 3rd parties)
C) 17th amendment/suffrage</p>
<p>2.
A) age/education related to voting
B) forgot
C) linkage for people to gov (interest groups - lobbying and donating)</p>
<p>3.
A) House’s power makes it beyond something something ? (decides who gets bills, control floor debate)
B) differences between senate and house (house - rules committee, senate - filibuster)
C) explain those differences</p>
<p>4.
A) policy agenda
B) how media controls - gatekeeper
C) forgot
D) describe the trend (decreasing)
E) implication (pres. target older americans, more policy/legislation geared towards elderly)</p>
<p>I think 4c was about how the president uses the media</p>
<p>oh right … i put down pres. gets more media coverage so can sway people to their opinion ? gain popularity, gets blamed more. er, something like that.</p>
