The AP US Government and Politics Thread

<p>can someone please explain logrolling?? thanks!</p>

<p>Bureaucracy SUCKS. It’s way too complex.</p>

<p>ok so according to this:</p>

<p><a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/ap-tests-preparation/700107-consolidated-list-ap-exam-curves.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/ap-tests-preparation/700107-consolidated-list-ap-exam-curves.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>u need about a 50 raw score to get a 3. (it says its from '99 but the margin of error is about 5%).</p>

<p>so out of a raw score total of 120, is it possible to get a 3 by scoring 50 points on jsut the mlt choice?!?!?</p>

<p>I think its when legislators agree to support another legislator’s proposal if they also agree to support theirs (mutual support).</p>

<p>Logrolling is best explained as vote trading. Basically a congressman says to another congressman, “I’ll vote for your bill if you vote for mine”</p>

<p>Uh, logrollingisn’t even in my textbook. Do we need to know what it is?</p>

<p>thanks…!!</p>

<p>yes, its a way for legislators to get their bills passed and also somewhat corrupts the process.</p>

<p>Logrolling is when politicians trade votes?</p>

<p>86-120 seems to be a 5, according to other posts and my gov’t teacher (who happens to be a table leader). So…assuming you do just as well on the essays, 43 RAW on MC is minimum for a 5? I think PR is giving high estimates (40-49 = 4???) - a 49 is probably mid-5, not low 5.</p>

<p>But it also counters the whole “ineffiency of government” to a certain point</p>

<p>This is a really good website:</p>

<p>[CBS</a> 2 School](<a href=“http://pod08.prospero.com/n/blogs/blog.aspx?webtag=WBBM_school]CBS”>http://pod08.prospero.com/n/blogs/blog.aspx?webtag=WBBM_school)</p>

<p>Look through the blog entries, they’re really helpful. Also you can post comments and one of the government teachers will answer you pretty quickly.</p>

<p>And can somebody explain exactly what a blanket primary is? closed = only vote for primary of which one is registered for, open = choose either party primary, blanket = ???</p>

<p>what is a group enfranchisement? like in relation to the voter turnout percentage being low…</p>

<p>A blanket primary means you can vote for candidates from any party.</p>

<p>blanket is when you can vote for candidate from both parties (only in alaska, washington)</p>

<p>blanket is already in this thread…but it’s like where both parties names are on a list…</p>

<p>Blanket= candidates on the same ballot</p>

<p>Okay, got it.</p>

<p>Group enfranchisement…never heard of it, but enfranchisement does connote the right to vote.</p>
