Questions for the Quiz on Wednesday
Hello, Everyone!
Since I am such a wonderful person, and am committed to making sure you are all successful, here is a list of the questions that will be on the quiz tomorrow.
In fact, I am going to allow you to bring in ONE POST IT with as much information as you can fit on it, that will help you to be successful on the Quiz.
There will be about 20 multiple choice questions on the quiz. They will be based on the work you've done in class the last few days. BEWARE. THESE ARE NOT DEFINITION QUESTIONS. This is an exercise to see how well you understood the importance of the things you studied.
Here goes:
What was the effect of the decision of the United States Supreme Court in Marbury v. Madison (1803)
How would you describe Federalism?
What was the purpose of the Declaration of Independence?
What were the Federalist Papers? Why were they important?
What's an example of the "Unwritten Constitution?"
How are the Mayflower Compact, and the Virginia House of Burgesses similar?
Why was the Bill of Rights added to the Constitution?
What were the colonies expected to provide to England under MERCANTALISM?
Why was a system of checks and balances included in the constitution?

The idea behind the POST-IT is that you only write down the really important information. The brain can only process so many bits of information. The smaller the bit, the better the information is retained.
