This blog is a place for us to give our Analysis and Opinions on important topics related to civics, government and politics.
Analysis is a clinical interpretation of items, issues, ideas, or events and an explanation of their impact on the future (i.e. something you think is going to happen).
Opinion is composed of your reactions, feelings, and beliefs on items, issues, ideas or events (i.e. something you would like to happen). Even though they are your opinions, they should be based in fact.

Without violating any College Board rules, based on what you know or what you heard, what do you think someone should know for next year's exam?
Know the amendments. I was surprised and did not have knowledge of what the 22nd and 24th amendments did. Also, isn't federalism more of a horizontal line?
iron triangles = issue networks....also, I think that knowing public opinions and the aspects of political participation would be helpful as well. Additionally, knowing EVERY single committee would truly help. I was confused on a lot of the committees and I think that making a little chart would help a lot to understand them better and not mix them up! Also, like Liberski said, checks and balances, and as Joe said the amendments! Overall....VOCAB VOCAB VOCAB
Amendments Constitution Judicial system Congress Presidency Interest groups relationships in government and how everything works together. Also court cases
Thank you class of 2012! This compliation will really help me to start review for the AP test. I think that my Amendments song will help me with the order and contents of the 27 amendments, but I should start to review everything since May is coming up soon!

Everything!!!! Eschew Mediocrity!!!! Go HAM!! #YOLO. But really, I think knowing a lot about interest groups and how they operate is a big key.
