Document Summary
Final exam study guide ps 220 american government and politics winter 2018 prof. thurston. Note: the final exam will be in the same format as the previous two exams (that is, 5 short answer questions and 1 essay question, with some choice over what questions to answer). The short answer questions will focus only on the material covered in class since the second midterm. (congress, presidency, bureaucracy, courts- civil liberties-social change, and reforming american democracy) The essay questions will be broader and will ask you to consider topics and themes explored earlier in class (and in the 2 earlier study guides on canvas), in addition to more recent material. In particular, the power of the executive branch has expanded greatly since the 19th century, disrupting the initial balance intended by the framers. The nation had narrowly averted a constitutional crisis, with the system of checks and balances left shaken but intact.
