Samuel Choi CHAPTER 4 OUTLINE: American Political Culture Introduction Complete dependence on a constitution(even the American Constitution) does not guarantee the survival of the government nor protection of liberties. The U.S. Constitution has been copied by many other nations. Examples include Argentina, Philippines, and Brazil. In nearly every instance, the constitution lasted a short time. Democratic rule lasts short time, and then is interrupted by events such as military takeover and corruption. Such a pattern was noticed by Alexis Tocqueville. Tocqueville found several reasons for the sole survival of the American Constitution The U.S. was more suited for such a Constitution.

Samuel Choi CHAPTER ONE OUTLINE: THE STUDY OF AMERICAN GOVERNMENT Introduction There are two main questions about government and politics. The two questions are, ?Who governs??, and, ?To what extent should the government rule?? People are concerned with who governs, because the ruler?s beliefs and values will affect the lives of normal citizens through the ruler?s laws. Because of this, people vote and participate in government in order to try and make a change in the government that will positively affect them. People are also concerned with what extent the government rules, because it shows how much and which parts of citizens? lives will be affected. What is Political Power?

Roman Caposino September 27th, 2013 Chapter IV Questions AP Government & Politics The textbook defines a political culture as ?a patterned and sustained way if thinking about how economic and political life ought to be.? The nature of the political culture of our country is that democracy, majority rule, and minority rights are good things. A political ideology is a set of beliefs put forward by a government, and political culture is how people?s opinions on the political ideology changes based on real life events. Americans believe people should be equal politically but not economically, whereas in France or Great Britain, the belief tends to be the opposite. The Political System: Liberty: Rights of freedom.

Roman Caposino October 21st, 2013 Chapter 9 #1-6 AP Government & Politics A political party is a group that seeks to elect candidates to public office by supplying them with a label?a ?party identification??by which they are known to the electorate. A party exists as a label in the minds of the voters, as an organization that recruits and campaigns for candidates, and as a set of leaders who try to organize and control the legislative and executive branches of government.

The Territory of Wyoming passes the first law in the nation giving women over age 21 the right to vote. After joining the Union in 1890, Wyoming becomes the first state to permit women the right to vote in all elections, although in 1887, Kansas al- lowed women to vote in municipal elec- tions. The colonies adopt the English system of property ownership for married women, meaning women cannot own property in their own name or keep their own earnings. By 1900, every state will have passed leg- islation modeled after New York?s Mar- ried Women?s Property Act (1848), which grants married women the right to keep their own wages and to own property in their own name. 1769 1848 1868 1869 1869 Racial Equality Issue Splits Two Suffrage Associations
