June 2006 - US History

<p>was the question…arguing against…or arguing for… i dont remember</p>

<p>If You Dont Remember Then Stop Making Such Fervent Arguments!</p>

<p>answer the question bafoon or dont make any remarks</p>

<p>The question asked about the prosecution.</p>

<p>I agree with MED, def. Drummer’s curve is way too harsh.</p>

<p>It asked what the defense was argueing against.</p>

<p>That curve does look rather harsh. The Kaplan conversion table is way more lenient.</p>

<p>700 is a raw score of 58 or 59</p>

<p>Etti, are you 100% certain? Me and MED are still a little shady about the exact wording.</p>

<p>I am 100% certain. I read that question probably 3 times, rather slowly just in case it would be tricky. It asked what the defense was argueing against, and that is certainly fundamentalism.</p>

<p>someone else needs to confer</p>

<p>Thanks alot Etti. I will now list the following questions that are still being debated.</p>

<p>the infamous army vs. ballistic missile question</p>

<p>the question about which WASNT a problem during the 70’s</p>

<p>Which group was “something” about depreciation during the revolution? Possibly speculators?</p>

<p>Madison/Jackson Quote (I am pretty sure its still Jackson)- it said which would agree with the quote</p>

<p>Also- the one where they asked about how hamilton undertook economic initiatives- I chose getting more people involved in the economy instead of “making a strong economy” because he had people get involved with requiring payments in bonds and stuff.</p>

<p>can someone else besides me, char, and etti tell me the exact question to scopes…thanks</p>

<p>I remember the exact wording to the question.</p>

<p>“The defense of the scopes trial was a direct challenge against…”</p>

<p>Because scopes, the schoolteacher who taught evolution, was the one who was brought to trial, the defense’s argument was liberal and thus against religious fundamentalists. I would bet my right testicle on this…so now both of my testies on are the line because of this thread.</p>

<p>Someone start a new debate on one of the questions I mentioned- I’m game for it.</p>

<h2>the infamous army vs. ballistic missile question</h2>

<p>Army, who the hell is still argueing this?</p>

<h2>the question about which WASNT a problem during the 70’s</h2>

<p>Healthcare/social security, that wasn’t a major issue until the 90’s and today.</p>

<h2>Which group was “something” about depreciation during the revolution? Possibly speculators?</h2>

<p>Speculators 100%, whenever the dollar depreciates the investors are those who are hurt most, a basic principle of economics</p>

<h2>Madison/Jackson Quote (I am pretty sure its still Jackson)- it said which would agree with the quote</h2>

<p>I put Madison without a second thought–I was that sure. But since nobody seems to remember the quote nor agree on what the quote was saying, to argue over this right now would be fruitless. All i know is that I am confident of my answer because it was a no-brainer to me at the time.</p>

<p>its making a stronger economy. think of the report on manufactures basically the nation was in a horrible financial state because of debts accrued by the revolution. Hamilton was not in the interest of getting people involved in the economy. Instead, he wanted to create a strong centralized government by which the federal government would regulate funds, debts, even if this meant not pleasing those who had spend a lot of money on war bonds, such as the spectators. In this way, he was attempting to make a strong ecomomy</p>

<p>As for the Hamilton financial question- The answer was that he wanted to get more people involved in the economy- not make it strong. </p>

<p>“One of Hamilton’s objectives was to keep a national debt, believing that the more creditors to whom the government owed money, the more people there would be with a personal stake in the success of the government.”</p>

<p>He wasn’t trying to strengthen it anymore than was needed. I think the quote (from my american pageant textbook) pretty well justifies my answer.</p>

<p>i disagree…give me a second</p>

<p>yes but one of the answer choices was definitely get more people involved in the government and economy and I just proved that was true.</p>

<p>He wanted to keep a debt (not good for strong ECONOMY) and strengthen the GOVERNMENT.</p>

<p>from aamsco:</p>

<p>one of the most presing problems faced by congres under the articles had been the government’s financial difficulties. Alexander Hamilton, now secetary of treasury, presented to hte new Congress a comprehensive plan for putting hte U.S. Financies on a firm and stable foundation</p>
