The vice of the groupist theory is that it conceals the most significant aspects of the system. The flaw in the pluralist heaven is that the heavenly chorus sings with a strong upper-class accent. Probably about 90 percent of the people cannot get into the pressure system. The notion that the pressure system is automatically representative of the whole community is a myth fostered by the universalizing tendency of modern group theories. Pressure politics is a selective process ill designed to serve diffuse interests. The system is skewed, loaded, and unbalanced in favor of a fraction of a minority. - E. E. Schattschneider, The Semisovereign People, 1960 Which of the following best captures the author's argument regarding the forms of democracy?

Pluralist democracy, though it involves groups at different stages of the process of developing policy, excludes a significant portion of the population.

Participatory democracy, which emphasizes limited participation, marginalizes those who do not have the economic means to participate.

Participatory democracy, which emphasizes expanded participation, creates too much conflict within the system.

Pluralist democracy, which seeks to shield elites from popular opinion, functions best when individual citizens do not participate in the process.

The use of the electoral college and the indirect election of senators would limit the influence that factions could wield.

The next most palpable defect of the subsisting Confederation, is the total want of a SANCTION to its laws. The United States, as now composed, have no powers to exact obedience, or punish disobedience to their resolutions, either by pecuniary [fines], by a suspension or divestiture of privileges, or by any other constitutional mode. There is no express delegation of authority to them to use force against delinquent members; and if such a right should be ascribed to the federal head, as resulting from the nature of the social compact between the States, it must be by inference and construction... There is, doubtless, a striking absurdity in supposing that a right of this kind does not exist. . . Alexander Hamilton, The Federalist 21 Based on The Federalist 21, which of the following arguments about government would Hamilton likely agree with?

As a practical matter, the laws of the national government ought to have supremacy over state laws.

The national government, by natural right, has more power than the state governments. Separation of powers means that the national government is limited to passing only legislation that all the states want.

Under federalism, the states retain more power than the national government.

“[A] pure democracy… can admit of no cure for the mischiefs of faction. . . . [S]uch democracies have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention; have ever been found incompatible with personal security or the rights of property; and have in general been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their deaths. . . . The two great points of difference between a democracy and a republic are: first, the delegation of the government, in the latter, to a small number of citizens elected by the rest; secondly, the greater number of citizens, and greater sphere of country, over which the latter may be extended. . . . [I]t may well happen that the public voice, pronounced by the representatives of the people, will be more consonant to the public good than if pronounced by the people themselves, convened for the purpose. On the other hand, the effect may be inverted. Men of factious tempers, of local prejudices, or of sinister designs, may, by intrigue, by corruption, or by other means, first obtain the suffrages, and then betray the interests, of the people.” James Madison, The Federalist 10 Which of the following sections of the United States Constitution most concerns Madison according to the passage?

allow majorities virtually unlimited control over policy

Too often, we take our form of government for granted, not fully appreciating its unique and exceptional qualities. The framers of our Constitution, having revolted against tyranny, bequeathed to the nation, and to us as its citizens, a form of government with checks and balances intended to assure that we would never, as a nation, be subject to the abuses we experienced as a colony under a monarchy. . . . We should appreciate that the separation of powers enshrined in our Constitution was modeled on the constitutions and declarations of the states, where the separation of powers was equally observed. Mirroring our U.S. Constitution, 40 state constitutions now specify that government is to be divided into three branches: legislative, executive, and judicial. The separation of powers at the state level, with an independent executive, legislature, and judiciary, is also one of the fundamental tenets of our democracy. What often gets lost in translation is how dynamic the competition among the branches of government has been, and how much stronger we are as a country because of that ongoing debate. It has been said that the Constitution is not just a historic document, but a living participant in who we are as a nation. Out of the continuing effort to assure the separation of powers, we have built a system of government that functions remarkably well. Although the powers ascribed to each of the three branches may sometimes appear to swing like a pendulum, we have continuously reconsidered and recentered our understanding of the authority and limitation of each of these branches. Linda Leali, “Reflecting on the Great Gift of the Separation of Powers,” Daily Business Review, 2018 Which of the following is a consequence of the dynamic competition among branches of government described in the passage?

Effective policy change among governmental levels and branches occurs with little long-term abuse of authority.

Many states have the decision-making powers of the legislative and executive branches fused together.

The executive branch tends to increase at the expense of other branches.

Many states do not have significant policy-making power since the federal government is effective in making policy for them

Linda Leali, “Reflecting on the Great Gift of the Separation of Powers,” Daily Business Review, 2018 Which of the following best explains how the view of the author of the passage compares with The Federalist 51 regarding separation of powers and checks and balances?

Both the author of the passage and The Federalist 51 assert that the structure of government helps control ambitions among the branches in such a way as to promote effective government.

The author of the passage views separation of powers as a limitation on the authority of government, whereas

The Federalist 51 argues in favor of using separation of powers as a means to expand the role of government. Both the author of the passage and The Federalist 51 argue that elections are a sufficient means to ensure good government.

The author of the passage views the structure of government as providing a balance between the branches of government, whereas The Federalist 51 supports the idea of a powerful executive branch.

Linda Leali, “Reflecting on the Great Gift of the Separation of Powers,” Daily Business Review, 2018 The author explains that the powers given to each branch "sometimes appear to swing like a pendulum" from one branch to another. Which of the following best describes how these shifts ensure that constitutional government is functional?

Separation of powers divides responsibilities and authority between branches, which allows each branch to be checked by the other two branches to ensure accountability.

The coequal branches have power evenly distributed between them and are not permitted to check another branch of government.

The greatest power resides within the legislative branch of government, but the legislature can give this power to the executive branch.

Each branch of government is elected by the people, which ensures that they all reflect the preferences of the population.

Which of the following was a direct outcome of the Three-Fifths Compromise?

A formula for calculating a state's enslaved population for the purposes of representation was enacted.

The number of senators increased in three-fifths of the states with enslaved populations.

Amendments to the United States Constitution required three-fifths of the states to approve.

The presidential winner would be determined by three-fifths of the electors in the Electoral College.

Which of the following statements reflects a pluralist theory of American politics?

Public policies emerge from compromises reached among competing groups

American politics is dominated by a small elite.

Public policies emerge from cooperation among elites in business labor, and government.

American politics is dominated by cities at the expense of rural areas
