2014 Government Final Exam Guidelines
Podcasts: Please go here to find audio podcasts reviewing the Declaration of Independence, The Bill of Rights, and the 14th Amendment to the Constitution.
All ACT groups who have a graduating seniors in their group, must turn in their final notebook by the end of the day on Wednesday May 28. It is up to every single senior to make sure that their ACT work is completed and turned in. Do not count on group members to turn in the notebook. If I do not get it, that portion of your MP#6 grade will be recorded as a zero.
This Final Exam will concentrate on two historical political documents; The Declaration of Independence and 14th Amendment to the Constitution. You will be asked questions about the environment in which each was written. You will be required to interpret the meaning of each. And finally I expect you to provide personal real world awareness as to the lasting implications of each document. Grading of specific answers will take into account the depth and accuracy of your responses. You will be provided copies of each of the documents from which to work.
Each of the two sections below count 50% of your final exam grade.
- I – 100 pts / Declaration of Independence (1776)
- II – 100 pts / 14th Amendment to the Constitution (1868)

Your government, Your voice, Your responsibility – Federalism
The United States Government is theoretically as accessible as an institution of government can be. The U.S. Constitution protects your god given rights of Life, Liberty, and the Property, by defending your route of governmental challenge in the Bill of Rights. The United States is a democracy, which means that you may vote for any public official who you feel best articulates and safeguards your interest. A federal geographical separation of state and national government, in addition to a host of local institutions, provides all sorts of access points to influence the public officials who represent you.
In theory, we should be all over our government. We should push so hard that it has no alternative but to adhere to our cumulative interests. The structure of the systems begs our engagement. However, if it is to work we have to be involved. We must be Awake! And we need to understand the construction of the institutions, and the individuals who temporarily fill those offices. If you understand what purpose your state and federal institution serve, then you know where to go to complain about potholes, challenge a woeful lack of funding for higher education, or protest US military involvement in Afghanistan.
