Quiz 2: 3- AG Ch.4: What are spoken untruths or falsehoods that- with the exception of public officials- are not protected under free speech? Jedi statutes slander Sith oaths libel

"I dont respond to SLANDER" -coffeeshop days

4- AG Ch.4: What are written untruths or falsehoods that- with the exception of public officials- are not protected under free speech? libel slander paradigm shifts zeitgeist threshholds

LIBEL The right to freedom of expression is not absolute; several key restrictions limit our ability to speak or publish opinions under certain circumstances. We have seen that the Constitution protects most forms of offensive and unpopular expression, particularly political speech; however, incitement of a criminal act, “fighting words,” and genuine threats are not protected. So, for example, you can’t point at someone in front of an angry crowd and shout, “Let’s beat up that guy!” And the Supreme Court has allowed laws that ban threatening symbolic speech, such as burning a cross on the lawn of an African American family’s home (Figure 4.10).34 Finally, as we’ve just seen, defamation of character—whether in written form (libel) or spoken form (slander)—is not protected by the First Amendment, so people who are subject to false accusations can sue to recover damages, although criminal prosecutions of libel and slander are uncommon. Paradigm shifts: a fundamental change in approach or underlying assumptions. Zeitgeist: the defining spirit or mood of a particular period of history as shown by the ideas and beliefs of the time.

I GOT THIS WRONG 10-AG Ch.6: What do we call political authority claimed by an election winner as reflecting the approval/will of the people? winner take-all system Volturi-sanctioned action paradigm retroactivity mandate

MANDATE -If presidents have enough public support, they use their level of public approval indirectly as a way to get their agenda passed. Immediately following Inauguration Day, for example, the president enjoys the highest level of public support for implementing campaign promises. This is especially true if the president has a mandate, which is more than half the popular vote. Winner take all system: all electoral votes for a state are given to the candidate who wins the most votes in that state

Quiz 2: 11- AG Ch.6: The _____________ Effect is when people don't vote after-all, causing their candidate to lose, because they saw polls indicating their candidate was in the lead. Tiled Floor Bandwagon Boomerang Ravenclaw

Ch 3 Q:4 What are the main functions of federal and state government?

The national government is responsible for handling matters that affect the country as a whole, for example, defending the nation against foreign threats and promoting national economic prosperity.

3: 6. Which statement about new federalism is not true? New federalism was launched by President Nixon and continued by President Reagan.

President Reagan was able to promote new federalism consistently throughout his administration.

The amount of federal grant money going to states has steadily increased since the 1960s. The majority of federal grants are block grants. Block grants tend to gain more flexibility over time.

The Clean Air Act is a type of federal partial preemptive regulation. Title VI of the Civil Rights Act establishes crosscutting requirements. New federalism promotes the use of unfunded mandates.

New federalism promotes the use of unfunded mandates.

3: 13 Which statement about immigration federalism is false? The Arizona v. United States decision struck down all Arizona’s most restrictive provisions on undocumented immigration. Since the 1990s, states have increasingly moved into the policy domain of immigration. Federal immigration laws trump state laws. States’ involvement in immigration is partly due to their interest in preventing undocumented immigrants from accessing public services such as education and welfare benefits.

The Arizona v. United States decision struck down all Arizona’s most restrictive provisions on undocumented immigration.

3: 15 Which statement about venue shopping is true? MADD steered the drinking age issue from the federal government down to the states. Anti-abortion advocates have steered the abortion issue from the states up to the federal government. Both MADD and anti-abortion proponents redirected their advocacy from the states to the federal government. None of the statements are correct.

None of the statements are correct. Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) was established in 1980 by a woman whose thirteen-year-old daughter had been killed by a drunk driver. The organization lobbied state legislators to raise the drinking age and impose tougher penalties, but without success. States with lower drinking ages had an economic interest in maintaining them because they lured youths from neighboring states with restricted consumption laws. So MADD decided to redirect its lobbying efforts at Congress, hoping to find sympathetic representatives willing to take action. The strategy anti-abortion advocates have used in recent years is another example of venue shopping. In their attempts to limit abortion rights in the wake of the 1973 Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision making abortion legal nationwide, anti-abortion advocates initially targeted Congress in hopes of obtaining restrictive legislation.69 Lack of progress at the national level prompted them to shift their focus to state legislators, where their advocacy efforts have been more successful. By

1. Accommodates diversity of opinion 2. promotes policy innovation 3. Promotes political participation 4. Provides multiple levels of access to government

3:19 Drawbacks of federalism

Federalism also comes with drawbacks. Chief among them are economic disparities across states, race-to-the-bottom dynamics (i.e., states compete to attract business by lowering taxes and regulations), and the difficulty of taking action on issues of national importance.

6: 10 How have changes in technology made polling more difficult?

Lastly, the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (1991) made automated calls to cell phones illegal, which leaves a large population of potential respondents inaccessible to robo-polls.39 The latest challenges in telephone polling come from the shift in phone usage. A growing number of citizens, especially younger citizens, use only cell phones, and their phone numbers are no longer based on geographic areas. The Millennial generation (those born between 1981 and 1996) and Generation Z (those born between 1997 and 2012) are also more likely to text than to answer an unknown call, so it is harder to interview this demographic group. Polling companies now must reach out to potential respondents using email and social media to ensure they have a representative group of respondents. Yet, the technology required to move to the Internet and handheld devices presents further problems. Web surveys must be designed to run on a varied number of browsers and handheld devices. Online polls cannot detect whether a person with multiple email accounts or social media profiles answers the same poll multiple times, nor can they tell when a respondent misrepresents demographics in the poll or on a social media profile used in a poll. These factors also make it more difficult to calculate response rates or achieve a representative sample. Yet, many companies are working with these difficulties, because it is necessary to reach younger demographics in order to provide accurate data.40

6:8 A poll states that Hillary Clinton will receive 43 percent of the vote. There is an 8 percent margin of error. What do you think of the poll? It is a good poll and the margin of error is small. It is a good poll and the margin of error is acceptable. It is a non-representative poll and the margin of error is too high. The poll accurately predicts Clinton will receive 43 percent of the vote.

It is a non-representative poll and the margin of error is too high. 8% is too high, 6% is barely acceptable, aim for 1-4%

6: 15 When are social and economic issues more likely to cause polarization in public opinion?

When issues balance 2 controversial concerns

6:16 How do polls affect presidential elections? Polls help voters research information about each of the candidates. Polls tell voters the issues that candidates support. Polls identify the top candidates and the media interview those candidates. Polls explain which candidates should win the election.

Polls identify the top candidates and the media interview those candidates. This tells voters who is and isn't worth it.

6:19 Why would House of Representative members be more likely than the president to follow public opinion?

Shorter 2 year terms; they have to fundraise constantly; no time to mend fences or explain themselves so they just follow public opinion.

6: 20 How do the media use public opinion polls during election season?

They collect data about who thinks what about what candidate via favorability polls and horeserace coverage

They cause primaries to be open or closed Quizlet: the parties can affect turnout and how people approach the primaries
