Any predictions for 4A?

Powers of the president? Does the constitution work? I'm feeling a little less confident with this exam!

Which topics did you answer?

I only managed PACs, 2 party system and pressure group success and missed the African American vote, which is annoying because I'm black... :congrats:

I did voting behaviour and elections! The 10 marker for VB was so good, but I forgot to mention Jews as they're considered a race aswell! What did you write for the 30 marker?

I felt like I didn't write enough (3.5 pages with mediocre handwriting)
I mentioned:
-happathy
-age
-race (how minorities are excluded from the Republican Party gave trump as an example for African Americans, Muslims and Hispanics which make up 25% of the population overall
-de-alignment

And I can't remember the rest 😂

Same. I feel like a question on federalism may come up for the 30 marker or whether the constitution is shared powers or seperate powers

And maybe for the president something to do with the relationship of cabinet and executive or checks on the executive but not totally sure

I feel like states rights could potentially come up for the constitution?

Would that involve amendments?

Presidential appointments hasn't come up in a while but I'm not sure if it could be a 30marker or not?

Do you by any chance have an essay/essay plan for a question like this please? Unsure what I could put for this question!

You could mention the fact that states' rights, were advocated by a number of republican presidents including Nixon, Ford, Regan and Bush in the new federalism phases.

Could include the quote, "the federal government did not create the states, the states created the Government." From Ronald Regan about advocating the decrease of Governemnt spending and its bursting costs.

Hope this helps, although this is a guess as to what you should put in.

What would I put in a 30 mark question about the separate institutions but shared powers in Constitution?

Wouldn't this be the same kind of question as one on federalism?
