Question 1
What is a primary goal of a civil rights movement?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Civil rights movements are like a push for fairness, aiming to ensure everyone is treated equally under the law, regardless of race, sex, or other traits. Expanding judicial review, state power, or central government strength isn't the core focus, as these are structural rather than equality-driven goals.

Question 2
Which U.S. Supreme Court case focused on the topic presented in the signing statement?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Without the specific signing statement, Wisconsin v. Yoder is likely, as it addressed religious freedom, a common topic in such contexts. It's like protecting personal beliefs from government overreach, unlike Engel (school prayer), Texas (flag burning), or Dred Scott (slavery and citizenship).

Question 4
Which term refers to government protection from discrimination based on categories such as race, sex, and disability?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Civil rights are like a shield against discrimination, ensuring fair treatment across protected categories. Popular sovereignty empowers the people, natural rights are inherent, and due process ensures fair legal procedures, but civil rights specifically address anti-discrimination protections.

Question 5
Which weakness of the Articles of Confederation led to the call to revise the document?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The Articles of Confederation were like a weak foundation, crumbling because Congress lacked tax authority, unable to fund national needs. Courts, trade, and amendments weren't the primary issues driving the call for revision.
