I did regular examples…I hope that was enough. Leave it to CB to have confusing instructions. I didn’t mention any court cases at all…that would’ve been a good idea.</p>
i used a few court cases and one or two current event examples… but other than that, there wasnt a ton to use…</p>
think i did okay… all i needed was a 4. probably got about a 45/60 on the MC and then probably missed 4 or 5 points on the FRQs… should be good enough right?</p>
can someone post a link or directions to how to get to the page on the CB website to see the released rubric?</p>
It hasn’t been released yet (48 hours), but you should be able to find it [url=<a href=“AP United States Government & Politics Exam – AP Students”>AP United States Government & Politics Exam – AP Students]here[/url</a>] when it is.</p>
Because I will be able to vote in a few months, I wanted to whether states’ ability to conduct elections is a implied or inherent power :)</p>
Your patriotism is admirable. The ability of individual states to conduct elections is considered an inherent power.</p>
Will College Board post the rubrics for the FRQs in July or after 48 hours?</p>
So now that we can freely discuss the FRQs. How were they?
2c) How does party leadership influence the voter’s opinions?
3c) Superdelegates…party leaders…anyone know the correlation?
Yea those are the only 2 I had to BS.</p>
3c was self explanatory. A superdelegate is a delegate chosen by the party leaders without an election. It allows party leaders to directly influence the election as they now practically get a vote.</p>
I sort of said that…in a round about way. But I didn’t say that the delegates would vote for the party leaders, I said that the delegates would vote in concurrence to the way the party leaders would vote. You think they would give me the point?</p>
For budgetary power in 4b, would this be a good answer?</p>
The president meets with the Office of Management and Budget to discuss the budget. Then, the president has to send the budget to the House Ways and Means Committee, Authorization Committee, and Appropriations Committee for review. If those committees are unsatisfied with the budget, then the president has to revise the plan with the OMB again.</p>
My friend, on the other hand, said that budgetary power was more so that congress can choose to fund or unfund the president’s platform.</p>
I suppose for what you said that it could be implied that Congress can unfund or fund a president-sponsored program, even though you went into detail, I think you would have also needed to say what your friend said. They won’t grade for implications, only facts. I don’t know. All I said was that the president creates a budget that Congress considers and especially in divided government, they need to compromise. As well as with programs that the President supports, Congress has the “power of the purse” in regards to them. Examples being “Obamacare,” which Congress actually passed, but the president simply supported it and had a lot to do with it. Now Congress can appropriate funds however they want with it. I didn’t actually use examples though.</p>
Who is currently(generally) the strongest person in the senate?</p>
The strongest person in the senate is the senate majority leader.</p>
Yeah, I definitely mixed up stare decisis with judicial restraint…</p>
I’m pretty sure it’s vice president -> president pro tempore -> senate majority leader.</p>
In the house it’s speaker of the house -> majority leader.</p>
False. You’re going based on titles. The Vice presidents only role is voting in a tie. I don’t see that as so powerful considering the handful of times in history its been used. And the President Pro Tempore does even less. Its just a ceremonial role. The majority leader has influence over votes, committees, and bills.</p>
I have to read the question on the test again to see what it’s asking. You’re right but I can’t remember if it was asking who is the most powerful person in the senate or who has the highest position and is the highest-ranked person in the senate. All I know is that it looked similar to the question in my prep book which had the answer of the vice president.</p>
generally the most powerful.</p>
</p>
They go hand in hand.</p>
