I think its:
1.C
2.B & C
3. D
thanks I guess... and yes. I go to florida conections academy, im in 7th grade.
#1 — Why would soldiers be needed to collect tolls? Think about what soldiers do and how they might be sent to a state to help do what soldiers do.
#2 — I agree with one of your answer choices. Think about what FEDERAL laws are that supersede state laws.
#3 — I don't agree with D. It seems to be talking in circles: the states would give up some of their power to determine what the fed laws are? Frankly, I don't see a really good choice here. Perhaps another tutor has better insight than I do regarding fed and state laws.
:( *sigh* so what do I do now? im clueless!
Frankly, in my opinion, these are more of the badly written questions and sets of answer choices that I've noticed students posting here. I wonder if the text is any good, since that's what questions and answer choices are based on. Is all this from Connections??
I'd contact the teacher and ask for clear explanations of everything — this chapter (or whatever) in the text; these particular questions; not to mention these weird answer choices.
I noticed the same type of thing regarding a history question recently. I wrote that the student needed to consult with the teacher. You can't be held responsible for errors in texts and tests.
1. To determine the correct answer, we need to understand the circumstances under which a U.S President may send federal soldiers to enforce order in a state. This falls under the concept of federalism and the balance of power between the federal government and state governments.
The correct answer is D. If a state's police force could not keep peace. The president may send federal soldiers, usually in the form of the National Guard or federal troops, to a state if the state's law enforcement authorities are unable to maintain or restore order effectively. This is typically done in situations such as rioting, civil unrest, natural disasters, or instances where state authorities request federal assistance.
A. If a state needed help in collecting income tax is not a circumstance that would lead to sending federal soldiers. Tax collection is primarily the responsibility of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), which operates at the federal level.
B. If a state's elected governor committed a crime does not involve enforcing order in a state but rather addresses legal issues related to an individual's actions. It would generally be handled through the state's legal and judicial system.
C. If a state's collected tolls on an interstate highway is not related to maintaining order. Highway toll collection is typically managed by state transportation departments and does not involve federal soldiers.
2. Let's analyze the obligations of the national government to the states:
A. Distribute educational opportunities: This is primarily the responsibility of state and local governments. While the federal government may provide funding and set certain educational standards, the day-to-day administration and distribution of educational opportunities usually lie within the authority of the states.
B. Enforce anti-drug laws: This is primarily the responsibility of federal law enforcement agencies, such as the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).
C. Ensure a decent standard of living: This is not a direct obligation of the national government. The concept of a "decent standard of living" typically falls under the purview of state and local governments in terms of providing public welfare programs, affordable housing, and social services.
D. Guarantee a republican form of government: This is indeed an obligation of the national government. The U.S. Constitution guarantees each state a republican form of government. The federal government ensures that each state functions under a representative form of governance, rather than a monarchy or dictatorship.
E. Protect the state from invasion: This is another responsibility of the national government. The federal government is responsible for defending the United States against external threats, including acts of aggression or invasion from other countries.
Therefore, the correct answers are D (Guarantee a republican form of government) and E (Protect the state from invasion).
3. To understand what states received in return for giving up some of their power to the federal government, let's examine the options:
A. a guarantee to fully integrate the public schools: This is not accurate. The guarantee to fully integrate public schools came through Supreme Court rulings, such as Brown v. Board of Education, and subsequent legislation like the Civil Rights Act of 1964. It was not a specific trade-off for states giving up power to the federal government.
B. power to negotiate with foreign countries as individual states: This is not accurate. The power to negotiate with foreign countries resides solely with the federal government. States do not have the authority to independently negotiate international agreements.
C. protection from the federal government: This option is more on the speculative side and not explicitly defined. However, it is important to note that the federal government provides for the overall protection of states through defense measures, as mentioned earlier.
D. the authority to determine federal responsibilities: This is the correct answer. By giving up certain powers to the federal government, states retain the authority to determine responsibilities specifically assigned to the federal government. This allows for a balanced allocation of powers between the two levels of government.
Therefore, the correct answer is D.
IMO
1. D
2. B & E
3. I don't know what to tell you!!
