American History Homework 4[edit]

Leonard G.

1.) The “Revolution of 1800” was the presidential election between Thomas Jefferson and John Adams in 1800 which was the first peaceful change of power in modern history.

Excellent.

2.) The Louisiana Purchase is a very tough decision to make. It has many pros and cons. To buy this land at the time would be a waste of money, but to have it in the future would be very helpful. Also, I do not know if I am going to be offered this deal again and I just may need it if my country expands and grows quickly. I would definitely invest in the Louisiana Purchase and hope that the future is bright.

Good.

3.) The cause of the War of 1812 was the thought that England was provoking Indians to attack the United States. Another huge cause was the attack on our Capitol and the burning down of the White House.

First sentence is right, and worthy of inclusion in the model answers. The second sentence is wrong, as it occurred two years after the war started. (Minus 1).

4.) What I like most about the “Monroe Doctrine” was the statement that Europe could not add any new colonies to America because of their difference in economic and political systems. I love how it is still used today to tell Europe to not interfere with our on going country.

Excellent.

5.) The “Jacksonian Democracy” refers to the election of 1828 where Andrew Jackson won by a landslide victory due the adoration of the middle and lower classes and the dislike of the higher classes.

Superb.

6.) The Marshall Court is most known for Madbury vs. Madison which established the new power of judicial review. Judicial review is the declaration of an Act of Congress unconstitutional.

Excellent.

7.) in progress :(

Uh oh! I even gave you an extra day, without success.

Good answers when they were there. Score: 59/70.--Aschlafly 18:14, 10 October 2008 (EDT)
