d) inferior to Christian Europeans
"After the ceremonies, the admiral went off in his boat, and the Indians followed him even to the ship, some by swimming and others in their canoes, carrying parrots, clews of spun cotton yarn, javelins, and other such trifling articles, to barter for glass beads, bells, and other things of small value. Like people in the original simplicity of nature, they were all naked, and even a woman who was among them was entirely destitute of clothing... Some were painted with black, others with white, and others again with red; in some the whole body was painted, in others only the face, and some only the nose and eyes. They had no weapons like those of Europe, neither had they any knowledge of such; for when our people showed them a naked sword, they ignorantly grasped it by the edge."

"Englishman, although you have conquered the French, you have not yet conquered us! We are not your slaves. . . ." "Englishman... the King of France employed our young men to make war upon your nation. In this warfare many of them have been killed, and it is our custom to retaliate until such time as the spirits of the slain are satisfied. But the spirits of the slain are to be satisfied in either of two ways; the first is by the spilling of the blood of the nation by which they fell; the other by covering the bodies of the dead, and thus allaying the resentment of their relations. This is done by making presents." "Englishman, your king has never sent us any presents, . . . wherefore he and we are still at war; and until he does these things we must consider that we have no other father, nor friend among the white men than the King of France. . . ." -Mivana, Chippewa chief, 1761 Question 3A The excerpt was written within the context of: A.

"...The Brafferton Indian School in at the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia... was established so 'that the Christian faith may be propagated amongst the western Indians, to the glory of almighty God...' The hope on the part of the founders was that the students would return to their nations and act as agents of 'civilization' and Christianization amongst their people. The English had trouble filling the school. As one Iroquois chief politely noted, 'We must let you know, we love our children too well, to send them so great a way, . . . We allow it to be good, and we thank you for the invitation; but our customs differing from yours, you will be so good as to excuse us.' Nevertheless, Mattaponis, Pamunkeys, Chickahominys, Nansemonds, and others did attend. Evidence indicates that some tribes sent children for a specific purpose. While the English hoped to create agents for conversion and change amongst the American Indians, the Indians hoped to develop go-betweens or mediators between their people and their white neighbors."

d) a republican form of government was superior to a monarchy.
"...Were the impulses of conscience clear, uniform and irresistibly obeyed, man would need no other lawgiver; but that not being the case, he finds it necessary to surrender up a part of his property to furnish means for the protection of the rest...Wherefore, security being the true design and end of government, it unanswerably follows that whatever form thereof appears most likely to ensure it to us, with the least expense and greatest benefit, is preferable to all others...." "...as [a] colony increases, the public concerns will increase likewise, and the distance at which the members may be separated, will render it too inconvenient for all of them to meet on every occasion as at first, when their number was small, their habitations near, and the public concerns few and trifling. This will point out the convenience of their consenting to leave the legislative part to be managed by a select number chosen from the whole body.... And as this frequent interchange will establish a common interest with every part of the community, they will mutually and naturally support each other, and on this, (not on the unmeaning name of king,) depends the strength of government, and the happiness of the governed." -Common Sense pamphlet, Thomas Paine, 1776 Question 1A The excerpt could serve as evidence to support the argument that: A.

"...as [a] colony increases, the public concerns will increase likewise, and the distance at which the members may be separated, will render it too inconvenient for all of them to meet on every occasion as at first, when their number was small, their habitations near, and the public concerns few and trifling.

We do therefore... declare... that no governor or commander in chief in any of our colonies...[may] grant warrants of survey, or pass any patents for lands beyond the bounds of their respective governments." "...We do further strictly enjoin and require all persons whatever who have either willfully or inadvertently seated themselves upon any lands within the countries above described, or upon any other lands which, not having been ceded to or purchased by us, are still reserved to the said Indians as aforesaid, forthwith to remove themselves from such settlements." -King George III, Royal Proclamation, 1763 Question 2A A major effect of the document excerpted above was that: A. colonial dissatisfaction with it and other restrictions fueled revolutionary fervor.

But the spirits of the slain are to be satisfied in either of two ways; the first is by the spilling of the blood of the nation by which they fell; the other by covering the bodies of the dead, and thus allaying the resentment of their relations. This is done by making presents." "Englishman, your king has never sent us any presents, . . . wherefore he and we are still at war; and until he does these things we must consider that we have no other father, nor friend among the white men than the King of France. . . ." -Mivana, Chippewa chief, 1761 For which of the following arguments would the excerpt above best serve as evidence?

A. France's more amicable relations with Native Americans B. efforts to assimilate Native Americans into white society C. Native Americans' rejection of European trade goods D. efforts to honor British treaties signed with Native Americans
a) Increased power of the judicial branch because of judicial review
"It is emphatically the province and duty of the judicial department to say what the law is. Those who apply the rule to particular cases, must of necessity expound and interpret that rule. If two laws conflict with each other, the courts must decide on the operation of each. So if a law be in opposition to the constitution: if both the law and the constitution apply to a particular case, so that the court must either decide that case conformably to the law, disregarding the constitution, or conformably to the constitution, disregarding the law: the court must determine which of these conflicting rules governs the case...If then the courts are to regard the constitution; and the constitution is superior to any ordinary act of the legislature; the constitution, and not such ordinary act, must govern the case to which they both apply." Chief Justice John Marshall, Marbury v. Madison, 1803 "The government of the United State, then, though limited in its powers, is supreme; and its laws, when made in pursuance of the constitution form the supreme law of the land, 'any thing in the constitution or laws of the any State to the contrary notwithstanding.'...Among the enumerated powers [in the Constitution], we do not find that of establishing a bank or creating a corporation. But there is no phrase in the instrument which, like the articles of confederation, excludes incidental or implied powers; and which requires that every thing granted shall be expressly and minutely described...[A constitution's] nature, therefore, requires that only its great outlines should be marked, its important objects designated, and the minor ingredients which compose those objects be deduced from the nature of the objects themselves." Chief Justice John Marshall, McCulloch v. Maryland, 1819 1)Marshall's opinion in Marbury v. Madison would most directly lead to a) Increased power of the judicial branch because of judicial review b) Loose construction of the Constitution c) The Supremacy Clause in the Constitution d) The doctrines of nullification and interposition
b) colonial resistance to the British Crown and Parliament.
"The state of nature has a law of nature to govern it, which obliges everyone. That law is reason, and it teaches all mankind, that since we are all equal and independent, no one ought to harm another's life, health, liberty or possessions. Since men are, as has been said, by nature all free, equal, and independent, no one can be put out of this estate and subjected to the political power of another without his own consent. Giving this consent is done by agreeing with other men, to join and unite into a community to promote their comfortable, safe, and peaceable living, and a secure enjoyment of their property. When any number of men have so consented to make one government, the majority has a right to act and conclude the rest. Wherever law ends, tyranny begins. A situation may arise in which the law is transgressed and someone is harmed, and then the monarch exceeds the power given him by the law by making use of force to compass that upon the subject which the law allows not. If this occurs, the monarch may be opposed, just as would any other man who by force invades the right of another." --Second Treatise of Government, John Locke, 1690 Question 2A Reasoning similar to that used in the excerpt was eventually used to justify A. toleration for groups of Christians in Maryland. B. colonial resistance to the British Crown and Parliament. C. the imprisonment of accused witches in Massachusetts. D. stricter British regulation of colonial trade.
c) government is responsible for protecting the people's interests.

Protestant Reformation. B. Puritan theology. C. Great Awakening. D. Enlightenment.
a) Columbian Exchange
"Their world, quite literally, changed before the Indians' eyes as European colonists transformed the forest into farmland. . . . In the Southeast, hogs ran wild. Sheep and goats became permanent parts of the economy and culture of Pueblo and Navajo peoples in the Southwest. Horses transformed the lives and cultures of Indian peoples on the plains. Europeans also brought honeybees, black rats, cats, and cockroaches to America." *Colin G. Calloway, historian, First Peoples: A Documentary Survey of American Indian History, 2012 1) The excerpt describes effects of the a) Columbian Exchange b) Great Awakening c) Middle Passage d) European Enlightenment
b) native peoples in the Americas strove to maintain their political and cultural autonomy in the face of European challenges to their independence and core beliefs.
"Unquestionably, one of [the Pueblo] revolt's dimensions was religious... Backed by armed force and not reluctant to use the whip, Catholic missionaries had set out to destroy the ancestral Pueblo world in every respect, including what people could believe and how they could marry, work, live their lives, and pray. When the rebels could capture Franciscan priests, they killed them, sometimes after torturing them. They destroyed Catholic images, tore down mission churches, and defiled the vessels of the Catholic Mass. They put an end to marriages on Christian terms. They restored the kivas where Pueblo men had honored their ancestral Kachinas. With Catholic symbols and Spanish practices gone, the Pueblos set out to restore the lives their ancestors had lived. The Spanish return in 1692 was a military conquest... but it did not lead to a full restoration of their authority, due in part to the Spanish themselves. Secular Spanish officials began trying to rule "their" Indians in enlightened terms. They saw New Mexico not as mission country, where the friars had to be protected as they went about their task of saving Native souls, but rather as a buffer zone, protecting the precious silver mines from the not-so-distant French and even the British. They saw the New Mexican people as possible allies in the game of transcontinental empire, to be courted rather than conquered." -"The Pueblo Revolt", Edward Countryman, published 2011 Question 1A The excerpt provides evidence to support the argument that (WOR-1.0) A. because their religion was largely polytheistic, Native Americans were easily able to incorporate the Christian saints into their existing pantheon of gods. B. native peoples in the Americas strove to maintain their political and cultural autonomy in the face of European challenges to their independence and core beliefs. C. the spread of maize cultivation from present-day Mexico into the American Southwest supported economic and social diversification among societies in these areas. D. Native Americans often revolted against their European oppressors, but these attempted insurrections rarely resulted in any change in the Europeans' treatment of natives.
c) the military and technological strength of the natives.
"Unquestionably, one of [the Pueblo] revolt's dimensions was religious...

B. success of efforts at reform of the Catholic Church in Europe. C. the military and technological strength of the natives. D. declining power of Spain in the 17th century.
c) Polk hoped to get political benefit
"Where, where was the heroic determination of the executive to vindicate our title to the whole of Oregon-yes sir, "THE WHOLE OR NONE"[?]... It has been overly avowed... that Oregon and Texas were born and cradled together in the Baltimore Convention; that they were the twin offspring of that political conclave; and in that avowal may be found the whole explanation of the difficulties and dangers with which the question must be attended... I maintain "1 That this question.. is... one for negotiations, compromise, and amicable adjustment."2. That satisfactory evidence has not yet been afforded that no compromise which the United States ought to accept can be affected."3. That, if no other mode of amicable settlement remains, arbitration ought to be resorted to..." *Robert C. Winthrop, speech to the House of Representatives, "Arbitration of the Oregon Question," January 3, 1846 55) Winthrop suggests that Folk's slogan of "Fifty-four Forty or Fight!" was based mainly on which of the following attitudes?

a) Great Britain's military and financial advantages
On November 29, 1775, Congress appointed a secret committee of correspondence "for the sole purpose of corresponding with our friends in Great Britain, Ireland, and other parts of the world."
