<ol>
<li>Marbury vs. Madison (judicial review) yes. john marshall. i put a strong national governement.</li>
<li>a century of dishonor. no</li>
</ol>

<p>there was a quote from some book the young woman. I put cult of domesticity, but I don’t think its right</p>

<p>America entered WW1 because of Germans attacking US ships.
First Coolidge question was a quote and the answer was not taxing the wealthy or something like that.
Second Coolidge question, I forget… but the answer was stratified economy but harmonious country? Something like that.</p>

<p>and Nemo, you’re remembering it from the AP we took. A quote came from it- it was the Dawes Severalty Act</p>

<ol>

I put Brazil and Caribbean, since I believe at that time most slaves were put in the West Indies.</li>
<li>Coolidge Questions (2) <– I don’t remember the answers/questions…
One of them asked what Coolidge desired as shown in the passage (or something similar?) The answer was helping the wealthy by not taxing them</li>
<li>Coolidge Questions (2) <– I don’t remember the answers/questions…
I don’t remember the question, but I put the economy is stratified and the society is harmonious?</li>
</ol>

<p>I put Cult of Domesticity as well… but wasn’t it a guy? Talking about how the woman should serve the man?</p>

<p>Shipped to Brazil and Carribean
Coolidge supported lower taxes for wealthy
USA entered WWI b/c of submarine attacks on passenger ships.</p>

<p>Yup, I remember now. x3
Also, as for 54, I said American entered the war due to Germany using unrestricted submarine warfare (persistent)</p>

<p>yeah, but I googled cult of domesticity and a part of it is submissiveness to the husband. so it could be that lol.</p>

<p>Yeah I think it was the cult of dom.
Because he was saying that it’s basically the woman’s purpose to serve the man and make herself educated while he is being the bread winner.</p>
