When it comes to living in a democracy, there are certain civic duties that one must do by law such as serving on a jury, following state and federal laws, and paying taxes. Citizens may also act on their civic responsibilities by voting in elections, getting involved in the political process, and even holding office. MAJOR CONCEPTS What were the weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation? What were the major Compromises of the Constitution? Why did America want Independence? What did the Declaration of Independence actually say? How do the branches of government check one another? What was Washington’s stance on foreign policy? What happened to Native Americans during westward expansion? What were the strength and weaknesses of Presidential and Congressional Reconstruction? What happened in its aftermath? What happened during the Gilded Age concerning "Robber Barons" and industrialization? What were some of the cultural innovations of the Roaring 20s? Sports, Music, etc. Why did immigrants move towards cities? How did the cities emerge? How did Populists influence the Progressives? What were the Progressive Reforms? How did American foreign policy change c1898? One answer is this, which resulted in this. All of the Progressive Reformers you need to know. What was the controversy over the Treaty of Versailles Ratification? Rachel Carlson's Silent Spring comes up all the time. It's a book about environmentalism. Why was it called the Roaring 20s? What were the causes of the Great Depression, and the solutions implicated by the New Deal (RRR)? How did we stay neutral before WWII? How was WWII a Glorious War? What were the major clashes of the Cold War? How did different generations of Americans clash during the 60s and 70s? How did segregation come to an end? What impact did the Warren Court have? Know all about the Civil Rights Leaders of all Eras, and the importance of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. How has the US been involved in the global economy? Don't get confused: W.E.B. Du Bois wanted absolute equality...Booker T. Washington wanted gradual gains. Remember: W.E.B. = Wants Equality for Blacks...Booker T., for Tuskegee Institute. Know your Court Cases!!!!! Muller v. Oregon = Limits hours women can work. Adkins v. Children's Hospital = refutes Muller decision. Schenck v. US = "Clear and Present Danger" Can't shout "FIRE!!!!" in a crowded theater (limits free speech). Schecter v. US - Declares the NIRA Unconstitutional US v. Butler - Declares AAA Unconstitutional Insular Cases Slaughterhouse Cases Korematsu v. US = Japanese Internment is Constitutional as Executive Order 9066 states that in times of War, rights can be limited. Plessy v. Ferguson = Justifies Jim Crow laws, and "separate but equal." Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka KS........ Ends segregation in schools. Sweatt v. Painter 1950 - An African American student can be admitted to University of Texas Law School because another school would be separate and unequal. Hernandez v. Texas 1954 - Mexican-Americans have equal protection under the Fourteenth Amendment. Roe v. Wade = legalizes abortion, but not in all cases. Dennis v. US - Due process limited because of a fear of Communism. Similar to "clear and present danger" mentioned above. Miranda v. Arizona, Gideon v. Wainwright, Mapp v. Ohio = rights of the accused. Regents of the University of California v. Bakke – Race can be considered in the university admissions process, but distinct racial quotas are illegal. NY Times v. US, 1971 – Publication of the Pentagon Papers was protected by freedom of the press. United States v. Nixon, 1974 - President Richard Nixon was not protected by executive privilege, and had to hand over tape-recordings. Nixon remains the only President to resign the office.

Political Parties Recent Presidents: Johnson Nixon Ford Carter Reagan H.W. Bush Clinton W. Bush Obama Presidential Slogans ... TR (Rep) = A Square Deal for Americans! Support consumers over trusts. Woodrow Wilson (Dem) = New Freedom (defeats TR's New Nationalism) and trustbusts with even more tenacity! Warren G. Harding (Rep) = Return to Normalcy post WWII FDR (Dem) = The New Deal - Public Works, and Government Economic influence Truman (Dem) = A Fair Deal - social improvement, and healthcare.
