Your answers are correct! Here's an explanation for each question:
1) The precedent that George Washington set was the use of a president's cabinet (Answer D). During his presidency, Washington appointed and relied on a group of advisors known as the cabinet to help him make decisions.
2) The example that best supports George Washington's ideas is removing a new series of economic laws through massive national protests (Answer C). Washington believed that the people had the right to make and alter their government, but also emphasized the duty to obey the government until it was changed by the whole people together. Peaceful protests and public demonstrations are a way for the people to express their grievances and advocate for change within the existing government.
3) The best location for a shipping port based on the map of the public domain showing West Florida is St. Marks (Answer D). St. Marks is situated on the coast and provides easy access to the Gulf of Mexico, making it an ideal location for shipping and trade.
4) The correct description of the land Lewis and Clark saw as they traveled to the Pacific Northwest is flat but high around the Mississippi River, quickly rising to the Rocky Mountains, then tapering off slowly to the ocean (Answer D). As they moved westward, the terrain gradually became more hilly and mountainous, reaching its peak at the Rocky Mountains before descending towards the Pacific Ocean.
5) The statement that best summarizes the historical position of all the groups listed is that the U.S. government represents everyone's needs (Answer C). While the historical reality may not have reflected equal representation for all groups, the statement suggests that the intent of the U.S. government is to serve the needs and interests of all its citizens.
8) The event that led to the U.S. purchase of the Louisiana Territory was Napoleon losing money in his European wars (Answer D). France, led by Napoleon Bonaparte, faced financial difficulties due to its ongoing wars in Europe. To alleviate the financial strain and fund the war efforts, Napoleon decided to sell the vast Louisiana Territory to the United States.
9) The event during John Adams' presidency that was the main reason for the Federalist Party beginning to fall apart was the XYZ affair (Answer A). The XYZ affair involved three French agents demanding bribes from American diplomats, which created public outrage and led to a decline in support for the Federalist Party.
10) Comparing the Middle United States to the Western United States using the map, the correct sentence is that the middle United States has fewer changes in elevation than the western United States (Answer C). The western United States is characterized by more significant variations in elevation, including mountains and plateaus, while the middle United States tends to have flatter terrain.
11) The Great Compromise resolved the issue of representation for the states (Answer D). It established a bicameral legislature where the states would be represented equally in the Senate, with each state having two senators, and proportionally in the House of Representatives, where the number of representatives would be based on each state's population.
12) The Articles of Confederation established a representative government where every state had an equal vote in Congress (Answer A). This meant that regardless of population size or physical size, each state was equally represented, giving small states the same influence as larger states in Congress.
13) African Americans created a strong sense of culture through making strong family and kinship grow (Answer D). Despite facing significant hardships, African Americans emphasized the importance of family and community ties as a way to preserve their culture and support one another.
14) The Jefferson Republican approach to the presidency was different from that of the Federalists in that Republicans wanted to limit the role of the federal government (Answer C). Jefferson and his Republican Party emphasized the importance of states' rights and a more limited central government, championing agrarian values and opposing Federalist policies that they viewed as too strong and centralized.
15) The purpose behind the Bill of Rights is to protect freedoms (Answer C). The Bill of Rights consists of the first ten amendments to the U.S. Constitution, guaranteeing various rights and freedoms for the people, such as freedom of speech, religion, and the right to a fair trial.
17) The idea put forth in the Fifth Amendment, protection against having to testify against yourself, is best illustrated by the right to remain silent (Answer C). The Fifth Amendment provides individuals accused of a crime the right to avoid self-incrimination by remaining silent during questioning.
18) A notable influence of Native American culture on the geography of the United States is that Native Americans built many dams and changed the direction of rivers (Answer D). Native American tribes, such as the Anasazi and Hohokam in the Southwest, constructed irrigation canals and dams to manage water resources and improve agriculture in their communities.
19) The Articles of Confederation set up governmental roles for dealing with foreign governments by granting Congress the power to make foreign treaties (Answer A). Under the Articles, Congress had the authority to negotiate and make treaties with foreign nations on behalf of the United States.
20) The southern states did not want Congress to tax exports because it would require states to raise taxes on other aspects of business (Answer B). Since the southern states relied heavily on agriculture and exported goods such as tobacco, they feared that taxing exports would undermine their economic competitiveness and hinder their ability to purchase manufactured goods from Europe.
