<p>I forget the question about bells and whistles… what was the answer?</p>

<p>For the poem with the bells and whistles, it was definitely Talyorism with scientific management in the workplace
ordinance- surveying the land. The one with slavery was the Northwest ordinance
Slaves- them forming their own culture, only a small amount of them rebelled. I remember that question from my textbook even though it was so long ago :stuck_out_tongue:
What about the one with voting in Chicago?</p>

<p>

Are you talking about the Tammany Hall question? If so, it was the spoils system.</p>

<p>does anyone remember the question involving conneticut compromise or conneticut something and some of the answer choices?</p>

<p>also, what was the underlying cause of the Great Depression? unemployment from WWI?</p>

<p>and what was the answer for the Roger Williams question? all i know is that i put a.</p>

<p>for tammany i put the merit system</p>

<p>No not the spoils one, the one with democrat voting (the chart)</p>

<p>I must have misunderstood the question, When I read that poem, I thought that it was a Left wing propaganda piece lamenting the boring/mechanical aspects of the workplace at that time, and then pushed for the workers to unionize.</p>

<p>Damn, looks like I missed one</p>

<p>and @ ivycraze, are you sure about the habeas corpus one? what is your rationale behind your argument? because jackson suspended the writ of habeas corpus too.</p>

<p>

Representation.

Religious freedom.

Minorities dramatically switched to the Democratic Party in 1928.</p>

<p>the democrat voting chart was pretty clear, minorities dramatically shifted to the democratic party in (the year that was the middle year in the chart)</p>

<p>For underlying cause of depression, I put decrease in farming…something like that.</p>

<p>are u guys sure about the spoils system, i put merit system?
also, roger williams was the one having to do with religion</p>

<p>…</p>

<p>Spoils system is correct</p>

<p>Farmers/ decrease in farming was the fundamental weakness before 1939, I think thats the same question you are referring to, confused93</p>

<p>Thank you (:!</p>

<p>Depression- the one about the farmers. They started experiencing problems after WWI due to overproduction.</p>

<p>there were two choices involving religion for the roger williams question… one is religious freedom, anyone remember the other one? and yes i can second the spoils system thing.</p>

<p>yes, it’s definitely spoils system. basically, fire every one of your enemies and appoint new people who will be supportive of you. in a merit system, you’d keep the current officeholders if they’re capable rather than getting rid of them.</p>

<p>@anaserena: oh gosh are you serious?! Dang, as soon as I read that question, I put Lincoln, haha. Didn’t even read the whole choices!</p>

<p>it was definitely spoils system and religious tolerance</p>

<p>

No, that’s incorrect. Directly from Wikipedia, [Spoils</a> system - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia](<a href=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spoils_system]Spoils”>Spoils system - Wikipedia),
