PSC 331W Exam 1

Plagiarism - correct answer the practice of taking someone else's work or ideas and
passing them off as one's own.



Outline - correct answer Keep your ideas organized; they help you not contradict or
repeat yourself.



Thesis sentence - correct answer A sentence that explains what your purpose is for
your essay.



Topic sentence - correct answer A sentence, most often appearing at the beginning
of a paragraph, that announces the paragraph's idea and often unites it with the work's thesis.



Introductions - correct answer Establishes a context for your essay, clearly states
what the essay is about, and typically gives readers a sense of the points you'll be making in the essay.



League of friendship - correct answer Rather than provide for a compact between
the people and the government, the 1781 charter institutionalized this agreement that rested on strong
notions of state sovereignty.



Articles of Confederation - correct answer A weak first constitution that governed
America.. This document worked to govern America through the Revolutionary War but it did not give
Congress power to do certain necessary actions such as tax, regulate foreign commerce, have coercive
power of the states, and required unanimity to pass an amendment.



Shay's rebellion - correct answer A farmer led other disgruntled farmers in an
armed rebellion in Massachusetts. They were protesting the poor state of the economy, particularly how
it affected farmers. The protest was suppressed by state forces but it was seen as yet another sign that
the Articles of Confederation needed amending.

, Virginia plan - correct answer "Large state" proposal for the new constitution,
calling for proportional representation in both houses of a bicameral Congress. The plan favored larger
states and thus prompted smaller states to come back with their own plan for apportioning
representation.



New Jersey plan - correct answer The proposal at the Constitutional Convention
that called for equal representation of each state in Congress regardless of the state's population.



Separation of powers - correct answer The new US constitution overcame some of
the problems of the Articles by creating a national government with three branches (legislative. Judaical,
and executive) and by providing each with significant power and authority within its sphere. So the
three branches are constitutionally and politically independent of each other.



Checks and balances - correct answer The framers did not only endow each branch
with distinct powers and authorities over its own sphere but also provided explicit checks on the
exercise of those powers such that each branch can impose limits on the primary functions of the
others.



Federalism - correct answer The New constitution created a system in which power
is divided between the national and state governments which, even though there are guidelines
expressed in the Constitution, was kind of unclear.



Individual rights and liberties - correct answer These values were what the
Revolutionary war was fought over, these ideas we're still fresh in the framers' minds. Safeguarding
these ideas were a top priority for the creation of the new Constitution.



Charles Beard - correct answer Historian who controversially stated in An Economic
Interpretation of the Constitution of the United States that the framers were self-serving; says the
Constitution was an "economic document" devised to protect the "property interests" of those who
wrote it.



Federalists / Antifederalists - correct answer _____________ believed in advocating
a strong federal government and fought for the adoption of the United States Constitution in 1787-
1788, ____________ disagreed with the Constitution because they fears the new constitution's balance
of power. They believed that strong state governments provided the best defense against a strong
national government.
