HIST 104 News

Here are the scores; find yours by ID number.

Two of the following essay questions will appear on the exam, and you will write on one.

The United States has not had a significant revolution since the Civil War, and yet the country has changed profoundly. According to Tocqueville, how does reform, constructive change, happen in a democracy? (Illustrate with examples from American history 1900-1940.)

Tocqueville tells us that Americans are touchy—that they have excessive national vanity, or pride. Do you see this as a factor in American conduct and action leading up to war with Spain in 1898 and Germany in 1918?

Tocqueville asserts that in a democracy, political power will flow to the center, creating an ever more powerful federal government. Judging by events in the U.S. 1900-40, is he right?
