May 2008 US History

<p>No it would be a 70-2.5?</p>

<p>is anyone else considering canceling? I mean I don't think that I did horribly so what do I do? Should i sign up for the June one and just not take it if I end up doing well?</p>

<p>Bleh... yes you guys are right 70-2.5 lol... so it would be 740-750</p>

<p>What was the answer to the Election of 1860 question? I think I put that Lincoln won the election but didn't win the popular vote.</p>

<p>I thought that the question about federalism said something about like "when did the 20 year reign of federalists end?"</p>

<p>that is wishful thinking... it actually said when did the decade of federalists end</p>

<p>I'm pretty certain Progressivism died with the rise of conservatism. Remember immediately after Wilson, who was progressive, three conservative, pro-business, Republican presidents came into power (Harding, Coolidge, Hoover).</p>

<p>Also immediately after WWI, we went into isolationism so it wasn't stuff going on abroad.</p>

<p>It asked for why did Progressivim end in 1917?
We entered WWI in 1917, whereas Harding was not elected until 1921.</p>

Constitution explicitly guarantees all citizens to a speedy trial?</p>

<p>i think regardless of harding's election, the isolationism logic still applies, and most books do explain that during ww1 we still had a ton of progressive reforms</p>

<p>btw, im 99% sure the speedy trial is right. it's for sure not privacy because i remember having a discussion about the patriot act and whether or not privacy was explicitly stated in the const., which it isnt. in fact, the word privacy isnt even mentioned inthe const.</p>

<p>what was the question/different answer choices for the 2nd great awakening?</p>

<p>oh and sorry for the multiple posts in a row :) it must be annoying
but the lowell factories answer on the newly compiled list got changed to hired immigrants. is there a general consensus on this?</p>

<p>i guess the ones that remain contested are
progressivism
and jefferson ending the federalists (?)</p>

<p>^I copied that part over, no idea if its true or not.</p>

<p>Right to a speedy trial was an amendment. Right to privacy was what one supreme court justice interpreted the 5th amendment as saying. Speedy trial is right.</p>

<p>Jefferson did end the federalist period (adams, and arguably washington, though he didn't really call himself that)</p>

<p>I put lowell factories being concerned with ethical thing of workers</p>

<p>2nd awakening ---> women's reforms.</p>

<p>yea i put lowell-moral development of workers or somethiing...choosing between that and readily accept immigrant workers.</p>

<p>for the question about the erie canal I don't recall there being an answer about lessening prices between buffalo and NYC. What were the other answers?</p>

<p>The right to a speedy trial wasn't granted until the 6th Amendment. Article V clearly outlines the process for amendments (2/3 majority, etc.).</p>

<p>Yes, but the answer regarding ratification said "2/3 of Congress and ALL states."</p>

<p>That's a tough question.</p>
