AP U.S. Govt. Help Thread!

<p>"Is it that hard? most of hte questions were straigth out I thoguht"</p>

<p>Well ya, if you know everything about government, that's like anything though.</p>

<p>lol im going to fail</p>

<p>Oh, can someone explain what a pocket veto is? </p>

<p>I don't really understand it.</p>

<p>basically the president delays signing it 'till after congress sits, thus requiring the entire legistative process to repeat itself.</p>

<p>after the congress adjourns or the president doesn't reply in 10 days</p>

<p>so the president hasn't signed for 10 days and during these 10 days, the Congress adjourns, is that what a pocket veto is?</p>

<p>Not true (i think)
if prez waits 10 days it becomes a law
UNLESS its w/in the last 10 days of congress (meaning congress adjourns)
so scratch ur last statement.
At least this is acc to PReview.</p>

<p>if the president doesn't reply for 10 days, and the congress is still in session, then the bills are automatically signed into law. Right?</p>

<p>ya that's true if it's the last 10 days</p>

<p>and math, if that was to me, I'm right</p>

<p>can some one clarify this for me. I was reading my PR and it says that voter turnout is relatively low and that the likelihood of somebody voting determines his or her level of education. Now when I was reading about political ideologies it says that majority of people who have a higher education are significantly more liberal than those who don't. I understand there are more factors to consider, but shouldn't the "liberal" democrats have an advantage over their conservative counterparts?</p>

<p>i feel like i cant answer a single FR question, the MC is straight forward though.... arghhhh</p>

<p>But age is also an influence. Alot of older people are conservative. (I think)</p>

<p>liberals TEND to be more educated, the more education, the more liberal.</p>

<p>the Democratic Party's urban consitiuency isn't exactly as educated as other groups of society</p>

<p>i feel similarly, physics.</p>

<p>I think ur being confused a lil.
Education, when determinign vote turnout, basically means college degree v no college degree. I dont think someone with a doctorate will vote so much more often than someone with a bachelors. But one with just a high school diploma wont vote as often. When the well-educated are generally liberal, that means college professors, intellectuals, etc.</p>

<p>Another diff. The well-educated that are generally liberal are a minority. So even if im totally wrong and the well-educated come to vote much more often then the rest, this is a minority and the general public is a majority so they wont totally shift the election. </p>

<p>Hope that helped!!</p>

<p>i agree with physics as well. lol
i usually get about 40s on the mc...and i'm sure i can pull off some points on the FR..then i can pass with a 3.</p>

<p>dont aim for a 3</p>

<p>But i'm fine with a 3. I just wanna pass lol</p>

<p>whatever floats ur boat.</p>

<p>lol, i can't stand waiting for the test...grrrr...I am almost through with Barron's review (i read it all over these past 2 days).. I'll then take the spark notes test and the final AP exam in Barrons and hope for the best...</p>
