One of your three answers is right.
I urge you to carefully read those web sites.
To confirm your answers, let's go through each question and explain how to arrive at the correct answer:
1. Jacksonian democrats favored the following except one:
a. rotation in office - Jacksonian Democrats supported the concept of rotation in office, which meant that government positions would be filled by different individuals to prevent the consolidation of power.
b. manhood suffrage - Jacksonian Democrats were known for expanding voting rights, specifically advocating for the extension of suffrage to all white male citizens.
c. the caucus system of nomination - The caucus system of nomination involved party leaders selecting candidates for office, and it is consistent with Jacksonian democracy.
d. rewarding the politically faithful - Jacksonian Democrats favored rewarding loyal party members with government positions and other rewards.
Therefore, the correct answer is c. the caucus system of nomination.
2. The foreign policy of John Q Adams:
a. was conspicuously successful - While Adams did make some notable foreign policy achievements, his presidency is generally considered to have had mixed results.
b. opened trade with the British West Indies - Adams' efforts to negotiate free trade with the British West Indies were unsuccessful.
c. was hampered by partisan politics - This answer is correct. Adams faced significant opposition from political opponents, which hindered the implementation of his foreign policy agenda.
d. scored a success at the Panama Congress - Adams did achieve some success at obtaining US participation in the Panama Congress, but the overall impact and outcomes were limited.
So, your answer of c. was hampered by partisan politics is correct.
3. The South Carolina crisis of 1832-1833 resulted in:
a. a clear victory for the federal government - This answer is incorrect. The crisis ended without military conflict but did not result in a decisive victory for either side.
b. a repentant spirit in South Carolina - This answer is incorrect as well. South Carolina did not express remorse or a repentant spirit during the crisis.
c. a partial victory for South Carolina - This answer is correct. The crisis led to a compromise known as the Nullification Crisis Compromise, in which the federal government reduced tariffs to avoid further conflict but also asserted its authority.
d. unanimous support in South Carolina for nullification - This answer is incorrect. While nullification was supported by many in South Carolina, it did not enjoy unanimous support.
Therefore, your answer of c. a partial victory for South Carolina is correct.
4. One manifestation of the rising democratic tide in the 1830s was:
a. longer tenure in public office - This answer is incorrect. The rising democratic tide in the 1830s did not lead to longer tenure in public office.
b. a general raising of the political tone - This answer is incorrect as well. The political tone of the time can be described as more divisive and heated.
c. nominations by party caucus - This answer is incorrect. Jacksonian Democrats opposed nominations by party caucus and favored the use of national nominating conventions.
d. use of national nominating conventions - This answer is correct. A key manifestation of the rising democratic tide was the shift towards the use of national nominating conventions to select party candidates.
Therefore, your answer of d. use of national nominating conventions is correct.
