Electoral College - The president is elected by a majority of electoral votes. After
an election a group of electors chosen by each state officially cast the electoral
votes for their state to choose the President.
Articles of Confederation - This document was adopted by the Second Continental
Congress in 1781 during the Revolutionary War to create a national government.
The new government was weak because states held most of the power, and
Congress lacked the power to tax, regulate trade, or control the coining of money.
It was later replaced with the U.S. Constitution.
Great Compromise - introduced by Roger Sherman; set up a bicameral Congress -
upper house
called Senate with each state getting 2 votes & a lower house called the House of
Representatives
with each state's representation based on its population--satisfied both the large and
small states
3/5 Compromise - compromise made when writing the Constitution to sastify both
free and slave states; said for every 5 slaves, 3 would count in a state's population
for both representation and tax purposes
Federalism - is the breaking of the gov't into Federal and state levels, each having
certain powers
Checks and Balances - system of each branch of gov't having a power to check the
power of the other to make sure no one branch becomes too powerful
Executive Branch - headed by the President and carries out the laws; also includes
the Vice President and the Cabinet members
Engel v. Vitale (1962) - separation between Church and State in schools. S.C.
prayer in public schools is unconstitutional, violates separation of church and state
and freedom of religion (First Amendment)
Miranda vs. Arizona, 1961 - This case proves that the 5th Amendment requires that
individuals arrested for a crime must be advised of their right to remain silent and
to have counsel present.
