U.S. Government Air Test Review Guide
Questions and Answers 100% Pass

Systems of Government - ✔✔unitary systems, federal systems, and confederate systems


Definition of a State - ✔✔a nation or territory considered as an organized political community under one

government


Early US issues of government prior to Articles of Confederation - ✔✔British Involvement in US

Government. etc.


Characteristics of the National government under the Articles of confederation? - ✔✔The Articles of

Confederation created a relatively weak central government intentionally during the American

Revolution by people fighting against what they considered to be the tyrannical excesses of the British.

The main purpose of the Articles was to unite the states enough to successfully make it through the war.


After the revolution, the Articles mainly functioned as a way of giving the states a united foreign policy,

but the Articles were not entirely successful. Georgia, for example, independently pursued policies

regarding Spanish Florida, going so far as to make threats of war against the Spanish if they did not curb

Indian hostilities and prevent the harboring of escaped slaves.


Under the Articles of Confederation, every state had equal representation and a single vote in the

unicameral legislature. There was no national executive or judiciary. Although the national government

prevented the states from printing their own money, it did not have the power to tax the states. It could

only make requests for the money to pay national obligations.

The weakness of the government under the Articles of Confederation was further exposed by the

government's inability to efficiently deal with Shays' Rebellion. A growing concern for the inefficiency of

the government led many of the nation's leaders to call for a new political system and eventually create

the Constitution.


Why did the founders choose a bicameral form of government? - ✔✔But a bicameral legislature provided

the perfect opportunity for compromise—in fact, for "The Great Compromise." Small states got their

equal representation in the Senate, large states got their proportional representation in the House, and

everyone went home happy.


Main idea of the Declaration of Independence - ✔✔all men are created equal and are entitled to "life,

liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."


Why were the Federalist Papers written? - ✔✔in an attempt to get the New York citizens to ratify the

United States Constitution in 1787


What did the authors of the Federalist Papers argue about life tenure for judges in Federalist 78? - ✔✔As

to tenure, the Constitution proposed that they should hold office "during good behavior," a provision to

be found in the constitutions of almost all the states.


What was the impact of the three-fifths and Connecticut compromises on the small states? - ✔✔led to

things dealing with slaves


The Constitution begins with "We the People." What principle does this reflect? - ✔✔the preamble


Explain the principle of separation of powers - ✔✔the executive, legislative, and judiciary powers of

government should be divided into different branches and not concentrated in one.


An example of Checks and Balances - ✔✔the Executive Branch can veto bills from the Legislative Branch,

but the Legislative Branch can override the veto.
