NOTES FROM TODAY 9/29

IN CASE YOU MISSED ANYTHING!

QUIZ - Foundations of Gov't

Hello, RUSHers:

Here is the information that you will need to study in order to perform successfully on the quiz (scheduled for Monday, or Tuesday). You can use your class notes, as well the textbook readings. For those of you who have purchased the BLUE review book, reading over Chapter 4 would be EXTREMELY HELPFUL!

The quiz will be 20-30 short answer questions. Some of the questions will be vocabulary terms and names. These will be based on your Terms and Names from your HW assignments. There will be about 10 of those, and then you will have around 20 multiple choice questions.

Here are the topics to study

MERCANTILISM - What was it? How did the British benefit from the system of Mercantilism? How did the British use it? Why were American colonists against it?

NEW ENGLAND TOWN MEETING/HOUSE OF BURGESSES - Why were they important? How did they influence the formation of gov't in the US?

THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE - How did it influence the formation of government in the United States? What does the DOI say about the purpose of Gov't?

JOHN LOCKE/SOCIAL CONTRACT - What did it say? Why was it important?

Causes of American Revolution - NO TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION!

PETER ZENGER TRIAL - FREEDOM OF THE PRESS!

We will spend some time in class Friday, and possibly Monday reviewing for the quiz. Good Luck!
