Today we discussed the Election of 1824 and the Election of 1828. For homework, students should read Chapter Ten, Section One and answer the following questions:
- What is the spoils system? What is good about it, and what is bad about it?
- How did Jackson expand democracy?
- What is nullification? What is secession?
- Find a modern example (from 2012 to 2013) of an American politician arguing for nullification or secession.
Answers can be written in the composition book, or in a pages/google doc and dropped in the assignment folder.
