Nine Weeks Study Guide (Exam is next Tuesday--So I can get them graded)

                                        Chapter 12 Only!!
*Congress is the only thing that is on your 9 weeks exam.
* Study these terms/concepts. If it is NOT on the Study Guide it is NOT on the exam.
* Look at your Workbook (Chapter 12) and Text (Chapter 12). READ!  READ! READ!

There will be 20-25 multiple choice + One FRQ.
FRQ will be something about the powers of the House and powers of the Senate. If you KNOW how they are alike and different you will be just fine! Personally, I would know the legislative tactics they employ in the Senate.


filibuster
17th Amendment
cloture
reapportionment
Powers and special  priviledges of the Senate--How many?  Term?  Age to become Senator? 
Powers and special priviledges of the House-- Same thing as Senate.....
Incumbency effect
pork barrel politics
logrolling
riders
bicameral
congressional districting
gerrymandering
How A Bill Becomes A Law
