Question

MEDAL & FAN ANYBODY ?
Political Parties today still debate some of the same principles, which the Federalists and Democratic Republicans debated in the 1790s. Which of the following modern policies illustrate the Federalist view of the role of government best?

Answer 1

a. President George W. Bush backed the No Child Left Behind Act which pressured states to improve education by withholding federal funds to those states which did not annually test all school-children, follow tougher national guidelines for licensing teachers and show progress toward improving classroom performance by students.
b. President Obama removed restrictions on stem-cell research and the funding of groups who promote birth control.
c. President Clinton ordered the military to adopt a "don't ask, don't tell" policy toward allowing gays and lesbians into the armed forces. This meant that the government would simply ignore the sexual orientation of soldiers, sailors or marines.
d. President George H.W. Bush launched a massive attack on Saddam Hussein and Iraq to force the Iraqis to get out of Kuwait. The United States did not, however, remove Hussein from power.
