APUSH P4 CQ #1 4.2-4.4

A key purpose of Henry Clay’s American System was to

• expand slavery into new territories to preserve its economic viability

• develop a national economy by improving transportation

• improve diplomatic relations with European nations by allowing free immigration

• remove American Indians to lands west of the Mississippi River to prevent further conflicts

The Embargo Act of 1807

• Closed all American Ports to Foreign Trade in hopes to avoid war

• Was passed by President John Adams in response to the infamous XYZ affair

• Required that any European Nations who taxed American goods would have to pay a tariff when selling goods in America

• Was a signal to Europe that the Jefferson administration supported France in the ongoing conflicts in Europe

The Jefferson administration advocated which of the following changes as a means of restoring republican ideals?

• Abolishing the Bank of the United States

• Reducing the scope of activities of the federal government

• Discontinuing the funding of state debts

• Adopting the Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions at the national level

A major reason why Thomas Jefferson was interested in purchasing Louisiana from France was that he

• wanted to establish a precedent for the expansion of presidential authority

• wanted an area beyond the Mississippi river to which eastern Native Americans (Indians) could be moved

• had learned from Lewis and Clark of the untapped mineral resources in western areas

• hoped to preserve an agricultural society by making abundant lands available to future generations

The Louisiana Purchase proved politically troubling for Thomas Jefferson because of his

• previous support for a strict interpretation of the Constitution, which the Purchase was not in line with

• devotion to new methods of cartography, which led to charges of corruption for Jefferson

• disdain for involvement in a foreign country’s affairs

• prior veto of funding for Meriwether Lewis and William Clark’s expedition

The principle of Judicial Review, established in Marbury V. Madison, means

• the Supreme Court has the authority to determine the constitutionality of congressional acts.

• Federal judges (including the Supreme Court)have the responsibility to make and pass laws at the Federal level

• States have the authority to nullify acts of Congress.

• Government contracts cannot be repealed by popular majority.

The Doctrine of Implied Powers, established in McCulloch V. Maryland,

• contradicted the court's earlier decision implementing the idea of judicial review

• grants powers to the Federal government that aren't explicitly stated in the constitution

• is in line with Jefferson and the Democratic-Republicans belief in strict interpretation of the Constitution

• established the right of states to nullify Federal laws they believe to be unconstitutional

The Missouri Compromise

• decreed that, with the exception of Missouri, any new states north of the southern border of Missouri would be free states, south slave

• gave states the right to self-determination on the issue of slavery, leaving the issue up to a popular vote in each state

• forced citizens in northern states to capture and return runaway slaves to the South. Failure to do so could result in prison time.

• Refers to the negotiations between Democratic-Republicans and Federalists that allowed for the balancing of powers between state and national government

The Monroe Doctrine maintained that

• all nations and states in the Americas were territories of the United States

• Haiti would be established as a colony to be settled by formerly enslaved people from the United States

• Cuba, Texas, and Puerto Rico were protectorates of the United States

• European powers should not pursue any future colonization in the Americas

The United States went to war in 1812 for all of the following reasons EXCEPT to

• end British claims for repayment of Loyalist debt

• prevent France from recapturing the Louisiana Territory

• stop the British from searching and seizing American ships

• deal with conflicts between settlers and American Indians in the Northwest Territory
