I had to answer 60 questions and I couldn't figure out these. Thanks !
Okay. President Washington avoided foreign entanglements knowing that we had no military to get involved in Europe's perpetual wars. You are correct on the War of 1812 for a & b. I don't recall the battle of Ft. Washington or the burning of Philadelphia, could look them up for you, but you should use your search engine to look up the Battle of Ft. Washington to find out for yourself. Look up nullification if you don't know what the word means. Your answer is d., which would make the very existence of a national government superfluous. Religious "awakenings" occurred about every 30 years in the 19th century and always saw an increase in church attendance (especially among women) and social reform movements, and maybe renewed emphasis on overseas missionary work, but more the social improvement issues at home. About colonial America, d. is probably closest to the truth. New Englanders were religious fanatics, middle colonists less so (except that Maryland was set aside as a refuge for Roman Catholics), and southern colonists were much more interested in profit from agriculture (rice mostly, later tobacco and cotton) for export to England. You are correct on the Articles, the first attempt at a national government. All of the above, but the 3/5ths plan actually made it into the constitution. We never returned Florida to the Spanish! Maybe we should have, but we did not.
Thank you so so soooo much!
Actually, if memory serves, we bought Florida from Spain didn't we? And if we gave it back, where would all those retirees have gone to escape cold winters? (grin)
Thanks for this I guess we are taking some what of the same test. :)
Of course, I'll be happy to help you with these questions! Let's go through each one step by step:
1. What was George Washington's belief about U.S. foreign policy?
To find the answer, we need to look at George Washington's writings and speeches. You could start by searching for Washington's Farewell Address, where he discussed his views on foreign policy. In this address, Washington emphasized the importance of neutrality, so the correct answer would be b. The United States should remain neutral.
2. Which are related to the War of 1812?
To answer this question, you need to identify events or actions that are directly associated with the War of 1812. Based on historical knowledge, the correct answer would be b. burning Washington, writing the "Star-Spangled Banner," and fighting the Battle of New Orleans. James Madison was indeed elected during this time, but forming an alliance with France did not directly relate to the War of 1812.
3. A crisis erupted in the 1830s over nullification. What was nullification?
To understand what nullification means, we can break down the word itself. "Null" means invalid or without legal effect. "Fication" indicates an action or process. Therefore, nullification refers to the action or process of declaring something legally invalid. Based on this understanding, the correct answer would be d. the idea that a state could declare federal legislation invalid, prevent its enforcement, and possibly secede.
4. What did religious beliefs and a sense of optimism inspire many Americans to do during the early nineteenth century?
To answer this question, you need to think about the social and cultural trends of the early nineteenth century. Religious beliefs and a sense of optimism often led Americans to engage in various social reform movements. These movements aimed to address societal issues and improve living conditions. Therefore, the correct answer would be b. participate in social reform movements.
5. Why did early colonial North America develop into three distinct regions: Northern, Middle, and Southern colonies?
This question requires understanding the factors that shaped the development of the early colonies. The correct answer would be d. Each region was settled by people of different origins and was shaped by the natural resources available. The Northern, Middle, and Southern colonies attracted settlers from different countries, which contributed to their unique cultural and economic characteristics.
6. Which of the following best describes the Articles of Confederation?
To determine the correct answer, we need to understand the purpose and content of the Articles of Confederation. They served as the first government framework for the United States after gaining independence. They established a weak central government with limited powers. Based on this information, the correct answer would be a. They formed the first government of the United States.
7. During the Constitutional Convention, the states had to make a number of negotiations in order to agree. Which of the following were attempts at compromises?
To answer this question, we need to identify the attempts made by the states to reach a compromise during the Constitutional Convention. The correct answer would be: All of the above. The New Jersey Plan and Virginia Plan were proposed as different approaches to representation in the new government, while the 3/5 Compromise addressed the counting of enslaved individuals for taxation and representation purposes.
8. Which of the following was not part of the Missouri Compromise of 1820?
To answer this question, we need to understand the details of the Missouri Compromise. This compromise aimed to maintain a balance between free and slave states in the United States. Based on historical knowledge, the correct answer would be b. Florida Territory was returned to the Spanish. The Missouri Compromise did not involve Florida territory.
