Answer 8

he got it wrong and failed it read down a little bit more, he/she starts flipping out

Answer 9

@hi103 I would have to say declare war, since that is definitely a power that only the federal government can employ.

Answer 10

may you help me with another one @nerdgirl6

Answer 11

Certainly! Ask away!

Answer 12

An example of a reserved power to the states by the 10th Amendment is the power to

make foreign treaties
admit new states to the union
establish and support public schools
build and run a post office

Answer 13

this is also multiple choice

Answer 14

Alright, I think this one is establish and support public schools, since foreign treaties and admitting new states are clearly federal powers, and since the post office is the "US Postal Service" I would assume that this is federally run. Make sense?

Answer 15

ok may you help me with a few more

Answer 16

Haha sure no problem

Answer 17

Which of the following situations would a state government address?

Foreign trade
Admitting new states
Conducting election
Local road repair

Answer 18

thank you I really appreciate this

Answer 19

It's no problem at all
Okay, so local road repair and conducting elections are definitely state powers, which eliminates them.

Answer 20

its local road repair right?

Answer 21

Oh gosh my apologies I read the question wrong
Yes local road repair would be the best answer

Answer 22

it can't be though because "local"

Answer 23

Well it depends on the scenario. Certain roads belong to the township of an area, but certain roads belong to the state. Which means that these "local" roads would be the state's responsibility? I see your point though give me a moment and let me do a bit of research.

Answer 24

ok

Answer 25

Alright, I think you are actually correct, more often than not the roads are not the responsibility of the federal government, but elections are almost always organized by the state, so that is probably your best bet.

Answer 26

elections is the answer

Answer 27

conduction elections?

Answer 28

Yup!

Answer 29

ok

Answer 30

Which service completes the Venn diagram?

Establish courts
Conduct elections
Set up businesses
Coin and print money

Answer 31

The venn diagram?

Answer 32

not to rush you but I have to go to dinner with my grandparents so may we hurry this up a little bit srry

Answer 33

Oh so sorry! Okay, so coining money is automatically eliminated because it is a federal power

Answer 34

I believe the answer would be establish courts, since there are lower state courts, and then there are higher federal courts such as the Supreme Court.

Answer 35

I feel it is conduct elections

Answer 36

Can a federal government conduct elections though? I feel like even with national elections, states choose the locations and such of elections.

Answer 37

? so it is conduct elections @nerdgirl6

Answer 38

@nerdgirl6 please don't leave me I still need your help!

Answer 39

Sorry!
And no I think conducting election is solely a state power...why do you think otherwise?

Answer 40

i actually know what you are saying right now. one more question

Answer 41

The U.S. federal and state governments are similar because both levels of government have the power to

declare war on a nation
collect taxes from citizens
trade with foreign countries
print currency and control banks

Answer 42

just say a b c or d

Answer 43

Okay I think this one is definitely collect taxes B

Answer 44

i got one wrong that was the venn diagram one the answer was establish courts

Answer 45

Ah gosh sorry....wait isn't that what I said?

Answer 46

no

Answer 47

Answer 48

Haha no problem glad I could help you out! Let me know if you have anymore questions!

Answer 49

May you help me with a few more @nerdgirl6

Answer 50

The State of Florida Constitution is similar to the U.S. Constitution because it

extends the power of government
protects people's individual rights
is the supreme law of the land

Answer 51

How is a state constitution like the U.S. constitution?

Both contain 27 amendments.

no options for citizen involvement

two main steps, proposal and approval

Answer 59

I hate to keep on throwing questions at you but....

Answer 60

Use the following quote to answer the question.

"The power to propose the revision or amendment of any portion or portions of this constitution by initiative is reserved to the people, provided that, any such revision or amendment, except for those limiting the power of government to raise revenue, shall embrace but one subject and matter directly connected therewith."

The quote above is from the

U.S. Constitution and extends the powers of initiative and recall to the people
Florida constitution and extends the powers of initiative and recall to the people
Florida constitution and extends the power of initiative to the people
U.S. Constitution and extends the power of initiative to the people

Answer 61

I'm guessing you are in Florida ;)
Its totally fine!
I think your first question is C

Answer 62

I do not live in Florida?

Answer 63

And that is from the Florida Constitution, I would say C again...
Lol really? Well it just seemed strange that all the questions were about Florida's constitution

Answer 64

The Florida Legislature

creates laws for the United States
interprets laws for the United States
enforces laws in the state of Florida
makes laws for the state of Florida

Answer 65

Lol no worries ;) I'm terrible with computers, so I would be a terrible stalker

Answer 66

haha

Answer 67

Use the following quote to answer the question.

"The judicial power shall be vested in a supreme court, district courts of appeal, circuit courts, and county courts."

The quote above is from the

Florida constitution, because it creates four types of courts, whereas the U.S. Constitution only creates the U.S. Supreme Court
U.S. Constitution, because it creates all the types of courts that may exist in any state of the nation
Florida constitution, because all of these courts are equal in power at the state level
U.S. Constitution, because only the national government has judicial power

Answer 68

I would assume D for the first one

Answer 69

now that you know where I live how about you tell me where you live

Answer 70

The second one is B

Answer 71

Do you mind if I message you? :) I would rather not state my personal information in public

Answer 72

Use the following quote to answer the question.

"The supreme executive power shall be vested in a governor, who shall be commander-in-chief of all military forces of the state not in active service of the United States. The governor shall take care that the laws be faithfully executed, commission all officers of the state and counties, and transact all necessary business with the officers of government."

The position described in the quote above compares closest to the national position of

U.S. representative
U.S. president
U.S. senator
U.S. federal judge

Answer 73

ok

Answer 74

@nerdgirl6

Answer 75

help me with this question?

Answer 76

Answer 77

Use the following quote to answer the question.

"We, the people of the State of Florida, being grateful to Almighty God for our constitutional liberty, in order to secure its benefits, perfect our government, ensure domestic tranquility, maintain public order, and guarantee equal civil and political rights to all, do ordain and establish this constitution."

The quote above

is most related to policies of the state of Florida on education
explains how the state constitution differs from the U.S. Constitution
is most similar to the Preamble to the U.S. Constitution
explains how the state of Florida organizes its executive branch

Answer 78

Under the Florida constitution, Florida voters have the power to

recall any state official from his or her position
initiate laws and hold referendums on existing laws

Answer 83

Answer 84

Answer 86

The governments of the United States and Florida are similar because they both

control elections held by and for the local governments
contain three separate branches of government
help maintain law and order outside the boundaries of the country
have constitutions organized with the same number of sections
