June 2006 - US History

<p>was the question...arguing against..or arguing for.. i dont remember</p>

<p>If You Dont Remember Then Stop Making Such Fervent Arguments!</p>

<p>answer the question bafoon or dont make any remarks</p>

<p>The question asked about the prosecution.</p>

<p>I agree with MED, def. Drummer's curve is way too harsh.</p>

<p>It asked what the defense was argueing against.</p>

<p>That curve does look rather harsh. The Kaplan conversion table is way more lenient.</p>

<p>700 is a raw score of 58 or 59</p>

<p>Etti, are you 100% certain? Me and MED are still a little shady about the exact wording.</p>

<p>I am 100% certain. I read that question probably 3 times, rather slowly just in case it would be tricky. It asked what the defense was argueing against, and that is certainly fundamentalism.</p>

<p>someone else needs to confer</p>

<p>Thanks alot Etti. I will now list the following questions that are still being debated.</p>

<p>the infamous army vs. ballistic missile question</p>

<p>the question about which WASNT a problem during the 70's</p>

<p>Which group was "something" about depreciation during the revolution? Possibly speculators?</p>

<p>Madison/Jackson Quote (I am pretty sure its still Jackson)- it said which would agree with the quote</p>

<p>Also- the one where they asked about how hamilton undertook economic initiatives- I chose getting more people involved in the economy instead of "making a strong economy" because he had people get involved with requiring payments in bonds and stuff.</p>

<p>can someone else besides me, char, and etti tell me the exact question to scopes...thanks</p>

<p>I remember the exact wording to the question.</p>

<p>"The defense of the scopes trial was a direct challenge against...."</p>

<p>Because scopes, the schoolteacher who taught evolution, was the one who was brought to trial, the defense's argument was liberal and thus against religious fundamentalists. I would bet my right testicle on this...so now both of my testies on are the line because of this thread.</p>

<p>Someone start a new debate on one of the questions I mentioned- I'm game for it.</p>

<h2>the infamous army vs. ballistic missile question</h2>

<p>Army, who the hell is still argueing this?</p>

<h2>the question about which WASNT a problem during the 70's</h2>

<p>Healthcare/social security, that wasn't a major issue until the 90's and today.</p>

<h2>Which group was "something" about depreciation during the revolution? Possibly speculators?</h2>

<p>Speculators 100%, whenever the dollar depreciates the investors are those who are hurt most, a basic principle of economics</p>

<h2>Madison/Jackson Quote (I am pretty sure its still Jackson)- it said which would agree with the quote</h2>

<p>I put Madison without a second thought--I was that sure. But since nobody seems to remember the quote nor agree on what the quote was saying, to argue over this right now would be fruitless. All i know is that I am confident of my answer because it was a no-brainer to me at the time.</p>

<p>its making a stronger economy. think of the report on manufactures basically the nation was in a horrible financial state because of debts accrued by the revolution. Hamilton was not in the interest of getting people involved in the economy. Instead, he wanted to create a strong centralized government by which the federal government would regulate funds, debts, even if this meant not pleasing those who had spend a lot of money on war bonds, such as the spectators. In this way, he was attempting to make a strong ecomomy</p>

<p>As for the Hamilton financial question- The answer was that he wanted to get more people involved in the economy- not make it strong. </p>

<p>"One of Hamilton’s objectives was to keep a national debt, believing that the more creditors to whom the government owed money, the more people there would be with a personal stake in the success of the government."</p>

<p>He wasn't trying to strengthen it anymore than was needed. I think the quote (from my american pageant textbook) pretty well justifies my answer.</p>

<p>i disagree...give me a second</p>

<p>yes but one of the answer choices was definitely get more people involved in the government and economy and I just proved that was true.</p>

<p>He wanted to keep a debt (not good for strong ECONOMY) and strengthen the GOVERNMENT.</p>

<p>from aamsco:</p>

<p>one of the most presing problems faced by congres under the articles had been the government's financial difficulties. Alexander Hamilton, now secetary of treasury, presented to hte new Congress a comprehensive plan for putting hte U.S. Financies on a firm and stable foundation</p>
