You should use the letter at the end. I usually write an introductory clause with the title first, then my argument or whatever I want to say from the document, and end it with the letter. </p>
What about the FRQ’s that ask you to “analyze the impact of of TWO of the following…”. How are you supposed to organize them? You have two things to organize, so only two body paragraphs for a total of four? I thought the general consensus was that we should have five paragraphs.</p>
Frankly, I’m not concerning myself with reading your posts, I’ll just get bogged down by minutiae and obscure topics. I’m spending my day taking every released/practice test I can, reviewing the different political systems in US history and finishing the night by reading two specific amsco chapters which I believe may show up on the FRQ. ;)</p>
OMG I’m taking the APUSH Exam first thing tomorrow morning, which I sure everyone on here is, too. Anyways, I’m stressin out so much. The multiple choice, is so-so,but I’m really freakin out about the DBQ and free response. I’m very familiar with the whole civil rights movement & american revolution; and decently familiar with FDR’s new deals, but everything else in between is kind of blurry in my head. I’ve been reviewing like all week! I hope I don’t fall asleep during the test tomorrow. Ehhh</p>
Can someone explain a question for me?</p>
The Supreme Court decision in Plessy v. Ferguson did which of the following?
Why is the answer “Declared that the Fourteenth Amendment applied principally to the protection of corporations?”</p>
declared constitutional facilities that were separate but equal, i.e. segregation… overturned by brown v. board of education</p>
guys dont stress out… AP calculator says a 5 is 55/80 with a 5 on all three essays.</p>
</p>
That is absolutely not the right answer.</p>
After some Googling, it appears this is the right answer: B. Sanctioned separate but equal public facilities for African Americans.</p>
^^ idk what “corporations” means. Like literal corporations, or metaphorical…? Whatever “corporations” means, the equal protection benefitted them, and not blacks, despite the “separate but equal” decision of plessy v ferguson.</p>
^i agree. what are the other choices?</p>
haha okay, thanks, about the samoa thing
don’t worry about it, i didn’t learn about it either
i was just making sure…with my luck there would be like a test question on it or something, so just making sure…
one more thing- what was the boxer rebellion?</p>
Anyone know where I can find sample APUSH essays and their respective grades?</p>
Multiple choice, no sweat.</p>
DBQ and FRQ… I need to really cross my fingers.</p>
That’s what I had thought the answer was, there is nothing about corporations on the fourteenth amendment…</p>
the other choices were -
a. denounced business combinations in restraint of trade
b. declared that the fourteenth amendment applied principally to the protection of corporations
c. sanctioned separate but equal public facilities for African Americans
d. defined the constitution as color blind
e. empowered congress to cancel treaties with American Indian tribes unilaterally.</p>
I feel like the answer key to this test is very wrong, I got a 55/80, but half of the ones I got wrong don’t make sense…</p>
What the hell is a metaphorical corporation? It’s referring to companies, businesses, whatever you wanna call them. Like Standard Oil or the Dutch East India Company.</p>
</p>
is obviously the answer.</p>
That’s not to say the 14th Amendment doesn’t have to do with corporations: they’re trying to trick you with corporate personhood and Santa Clara County v Southern Pacific Railroad, when the SCOTUS recognized corporations as people under the 14th Amendment.</p>
That’s what I put, I’m assuming the answer key is wrong. Which makes me feel better, because if I get a 55/80, and this is proof that it isn’t correct, then that means I could’ve gotten even more right! woo!</p>
Cosign with Tenors. Ugh.</p>
Another question for you guys -</p>
<ol>

E.acceptance of slavery as a labor system</li>
