you sir are the reason I got a 5 on my gov exam!!! I just wanted to come back and say thank you. you’re truly an angel for taking the time to make these videos 🙏
shout out to those here in 2021 preparing for an actual full exam. anyways, here's my thesis statement: Extensive government surveillance systems violate a persons privacy based on the decision made in Roe vs. Wade, especially when increased due to fear.
Thank you for this, I can’t believe the exam is on Monday. I’m taking 6 exams this year, but I’m confident I’ll pass 3 of them. The others are Government, English and Macroeconomics. But thanks to this I feel more prepared! Thank you! I’m
While surveillance programs may infringe upon people's right to privacy, they ultimately uphold people's natural rights rather than violating them. This is an example of social contract, the idea that the purpose of government is to protect the people at the expense of some of their individual freedom.
This probably works. Given the argument you're making I would simply it and try to avoid admitting that it infringes on people's right to privacy. Try "Surveillance programs uphold people's natural rights rather than violating them and exemplify the social contract, the idea that the purpose of government is to protect the rights of the people."
I think this one will work normally, but this year the new rubric takes away the requirements for a concession paragraph. I watched a video in which the CollegeBoard US Gov. chief reader commented on different thesis statements, and when he saw one example that includes a counterargument, he said that it wouldn't earn the point (this year).
I am so grateful for your videos! I have learned more in this one playlist than in my entire year of AP Government and Politics class. Thank you so much for taking the time to help us prepare for the exam!!
FRQ thesis: Although it is sometimes necessary for the government to heighten their duties during times of duress, the governmental evidence powerfully demonstrates that government surveillance programs such as the one conducted following the 9/11 attacks are a violation of indiviual rights in direct contrast to the 4th amendment and the 14th amendment implied right to privacy. edit: I just started cramming with only 9 days left to go, so I hope this is a good start!!
Yea I just started cramming with less than 13 hours to go (8 of which I will be sleeping for) but your thesis looks good, only thing is my Gov teacher told me by using two separate amendments, the evidence would both technically count as the constitution and therefore would only be counted as 1 piece of evidence. Not sure how reliable that is but yea!
Thesis: Government surveillance programs violate individual's rights since they impose on an individual's right to privacy and would be considered "unreasonable search and seizure" under the 4th amendment since the individual would not be aware of the use of their technological information by the government. Is this good or could I improve it in some way? Also, thank you for your videos! I learned ap govt last semester so it's been stressful relearning all the content for the ap exam but your videos have helped a lot.
its almost 1 am the day of the exam :) love this coronavirus affecting my studies severely :) but on a serious note, thank you so much Carey for these videos. at least they give me hope and actually teach me!
This is just an argument (I don't necessarily believe this but this was the easiest for me to prove): Government surveillance programs would not violate individual rights as a result of the "necessary and proper" clause in the Constitution that allows for the federal government to temporarily limit individual freedoms for national security purposes. Would this work?
MR LA MANNA, I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT I GOT A 5 ON MY AP GOV EXAM THIS YEAT BECAUSE OF YOUR VIDEOS! I kid you not, I never touched my any of my gov textbooks once, and my teacher mostly gave us a self-study route for that class. While just following your videos throughout the semester, by the time of the AP test I didn’t do any additional studying, but I got that 5!
Although increased surveillance may strengthen public safety precautions it expands federal power beyond what is delineated in the constitution and beyond what is granted by the elastic clause by violating the fourth amendment protection against unreasonable search and seizure. How is this? Also thank you, my class is still learning about the bureaucracy and we haven't started reviewing yet so this is so helpful!
I made a short, and broad thesis. I am wondering I will get the point for the thesis. Here it is: Government surveillance does not violate individual rights because this program helps protect public interest.
My thesis: Government surveillence programs do not violate individual rights because the government does this to fulfill some of its most essential obligations: to protect the peoples' natural right to life, to ensure domestic tranquility, and to provide for the common defense, as these duties are outlined in the Constitution and Declaration of Independence
I think I noticed a mistake in this video, Mr. LaManna. Around 10:13, the definition for a Categorical Grant isn't on screen. It's the same as the Block Grants.
The Bill of Rights, particularly Amendments 1 and 4 of the United States constitution, detail the natural rights of citizens to, respectively, exercise their "freedom of speech" as well as their right to be "secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects." Government surveillance programs, especially ones discreet in nature and in purpose, threaten and potentially violate these notions outlined in the constitution.
Just a quick note for the block grants and categorical grants you forget to add the definition on categorical grants on it, it just stayed as block grants.
10:27 answer is D. The federal government will give money to the states to purchase things for a specific purpose ONLY if .they participate in the program. So I could see C. but I believe D. is the best choice
I believe c because a federal mandate is a law that all states must follow. This law only offers them money if they follow, thus making it a categorical grant as the money goes under education purposes. A federal mandate is a law that no matter what they must follow, funded or not.
thesis : Although there is a need for better security features, without probable clause unreasonable searches are against the 4th amendment of the constitution, in this case government surveillance programs violate individual rights since there is no probable clause behind each individual being recorded with in their rights. please answer
the answer is c. categorical grant because Congress is giving the states money but only if they comply with the rule of establishing federal education standards
Thesis: Government surveillance programs violate individual rights because of the violation of privacy rights to individual citizens given by the fourteenth amendment and the violation of the search and arrest procedures under the 4th amendment. Would that thesis earn a point?
My AP Government teacher, Ms. Pomerleau, said for every 5 slaves, 3 count, not that slaves are 3/5ths of a person. It is written 3 out of 5, not 3/5ths.
Can you help me with this I don’t know how to write a good thesis : Equality of opportunity is a central value in the American political system. Choose either Congress or the Supreme Court, and present an argument for why your choice is most responsible for advancing the principle of equality of opportunity in the United States.
Hey Colin, so you have to to do two things: make a claim and establish a line of reasoning. So you need to say that either Congress or the Supreme Court is most responsible blah blah and then say BECAUSE and establish a line of reasoning. Your because can be really simple, it's not actually a piece of evidence but you need to give some kind of reason why you selected the one that you did.
This is my first AP test and I am still getting the hang of writing arguments... Government surveillance programs violate individual rights because according to the 14th amendment every citizen has the right to privacy, and the surveillance programs go against a person having privacy.
You sound like a pro already! Great job. Small thing: no single amendment establishes the right to privacy, so I'd leave the 14th amendment part out, but otherwise it's perfect
Government surveillance programs do violate individual's rights because it would infringe upon the people's right to privacy incorporated by the 14th Amendment. Would that be alright or is it only correct if I also mention the 4th amendment?
Is the answer C because while block grants are a broad area, giving money for technology specifically in the classroom would be categorical grants so C?
Although some may find government surveillance to be necessary, It violates the 4th Amendment’s right of privacy and infringes on individual rights while also strengthening the power of the federal government.
for the thesis, I noticed that a lot of people start by saying although surveillance programs are good for protecting ur nation or managing security, they violate individual rights because ... Does our thesis have to be complex or present a counterpoint since they removed the complexity point? can't we just say surveillance programs violate individual rights because ...
You absolutely can. There's no need to acknowledge an alternate perspective or the purpose of those programs. You can get right to the claim: Government surveillance programs violate individual rights because...
Government surveillance programs do violate individual rights because of the 4th Amendment’s right to privacy, and the 14th Amendment’s guarantee of due process.
Although events such as 9/11 cause proper reasoning for government surveillance programs to be established, such programs would mostly serve to impede individual rights. Established programs such as these would blatantly go against the 4th Amendments right to privacy.
Can you give me some feedback on my thesis? Some Americans think that increasing federal power in order to combat terrorism violates individual rights, however such an increase is a necessary sacrifice to allow the government to protect the citizens from harm.
It's not bad. I'd encourage you to explicitly state that it's NOT a violation of individual rights.I might reword what you wrote to "Increasing federal power in order to combat terrorism does not violate individual rights and is a necessary sacrifice to allow the government to protect the citizens from harm.
Robin Klos because the states don’t have to participate in the program. They aren’t forced to do anything by the federal govt and the government is proving money for a pretty specific purpose ($50 mil for buying new technology) so the best answer would be categorical grant.
Governmental surveillance programs do not violate individual rights because the programs don't violate any of the natural rights outlined in the constitution, nor do they violate any of the rights given amendments to the constitution. The programs do not violate the 4th amendment because they have to go through the FISA courts in order to get a search warrant and these courts determine if there is probable cause for a search. How's this? (I know im wordy I can't help it)
Also congress could actually tax, but taxation or anything for that matter couldn’t be enforced. Which is also why no one showed up to the states conventions.
Thesis: Government surveillance programs would violate individual rights because it would go against citizen's privacy and rights in order to achieve a form of stability.
How would this be for my thesis? Government surveillance programs violate individual rights because they violate the 4th amendment which talks about prohibitions against unreasonable searches and seizures.
Under the articles of confederation congress had the power to declare war but as far as raise an army they needed to rely on the states to provide soldiers. In the video it says that the articles gave congress the power to raise an army? Does that count as raising an army? If not isn't this wrong?
Could you tell me if this thesis is alright? I'm wondering if my line of reasoning is truly a good reasoning: Government surveillance programs, while an effective method to protect Americans, violate individual rights because they are an invasion of privacy and protections set forth in the Bill of Rights. Also, for the multiple choice, is the answer D (a federal mandate)? I was debating between C & D because can't grants have mandates attached to them? So isn't it technically both? Categorical grants have a more specific purpose, in this case, new classroom technology. Please explain... By the way thanks for these videos. The fact that when I watch them, I feel like I understand everything and already knew the information, I feel more relieved. :]
The thesis/line of reasoning is perfect. MC answer is C. It's not a federal mandate because states have the option to say no. They' only have to meet the requirements if they want to get the money, so that's conditions of aid for a categorical grant. Mandates are somethings states MUST do regardless of whether there's money offered or not.
@@CareyLaManna Ohh, alright. That does make sense. And Categorical (project) grants are based on merit, I guess that's the requirement in terms of merit in this case. Does that mean mandates never come with grants? I know that the No Child Left Behind Act is an example of a mandate. But also, for example, cross-cutting requirements (I believe that's what it's called), when they had to change the drinking age to get highway funds. What would that be considered? A (categorical) grant with a requirement, or just a mandate? Thanks for replying, and sorry for the long response I just want to understand everything I'm confused about.
For your categorical grants slide, you said the right definition but wrote the wrong one in the video.. But thanks for these videos in general, my class has been using them all year!
Is this good? I never learned how to properly write a thesis statement in class. Government surveillance programs violate individual rights because the 4th amendment states that without a warrant no one is allowed to forcibly enter another persons home. Although keeping the nation safe is everyones top priority we need to take into consideration people's individual rights along with the 4th amendment.
Yes! You would earn the thesis point. You actually had the point after just the first sentence. There's no need to elaborate beyond that. Make a claim and establish a line of reasoning, you did it in the first sentence. Good job
Thesis practice: While tension and worry remain high in regards to the aftermath of 9/11, an increase in governmental surveillance violates individual rights because the constitution's 4th amendment vividly states that people are protected from unreasonable searches and seizures unless a specific warrant is present.
Carey LaManna no, I was just guessing the answer and I think that you are doing an amazing job and also really helping me with the gov but I’m still struggling with my argument essay but I now I can do better :)
Hey I got one question, for the argument essay I always struggle to find a second piece of reasoning and evidence what do you guys suggest I do to make it easier for me to find? I love the vids they help so much. Also I struggle when I write the line of reasoning, do I include one reason that both my examples will support or two different reasons that support the 2 different examples?
Aduleil Shareeve I totally get that struggle!! What I would suggest is picking an argument that you know you can support with two pieces of evidence right off the bat. You may feel that you want to take a certain stance but find that finding evidence for the stance is difficult. The argumentative essay isn’t about whether your stance is correct or incorrect so really focus on picking an argument that you’re comfortable with defending. As for you second question, I’d say you can likely do either. I sent in a practice FRQ to my teacher where I used two different reasons and I got really good feedback. I don’t think it matters as long as your evidence backs up what you’re saying.
After the Events of 9/11 some Americans advocated for an increase in federal power, such as surveillance programs. However, these programs are infringing on a citizen's right to privacy and security within their home, which is very unconstitutional.
Is this good? Although there may be benefits of additional security, there are protections of the 4th amendment against unreasonable searches and seizures, therefore government surveillance programs do violate individual rights.

I think this one will work normally, but this year the new rubric takes away the requirements for a concession paragraph.

It is a categorical grant because the national government is being very specific in what the states should do with the money.
Yup!
The Bill of Rights, particularly Amendments 1 and 4 of the United States constitution, detail the natural rights of citizens to, respectively, exercise their "freedom of speech" as well as their right to be "secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects." Government surveillance programs, especially ones discreet in nature and in purpose, threaten and potentially violate these notions outlined in the constitution.

10:27 answer is D. The federal government will give money to the states to purchase things for a specific purpose ONLY if .they participate in the program. So I could see C. but I believe D. is the best choice

Also congress could actually tax, but taxation or anything for that matter couldn’t be enforced. Which is also why no one showed up to the states conventions.
45 min till exam and im on unit 1 let's go!!!
Thesis: Government surveillance programs would violate individual rights because it would go against citizen's privacy and rights in order to achieve a form of stability.
How would this be for my thesis?
Government surveillance programs violate individual rights because they violate the 4th amendment which talks about prohibitions against unreasonable searches and seizures.
Under the articles of confederation congress had the power to declare war but as far as raise an army they needed to rely on the states to provide soldiers. In the video it says that the articles gave congress the power to raise an army? Does that count as raising an army? If not isn't this wrong?
Could you tell me if this thesis is alright? I'm wondering if my line of reasoning is truly a good reasoning:
Government surveillance programs, while an effective method to protect Americans, violate individual rights because they are an invasion of privacy and protections set forth in the Bill of Rights.
Also, for the multiple choice, is the answer D (a federal mandate)? I was debating between C & D because can't grants have mandates attached to them? So isn't it technically both? Categorical grants have a more specific purpose, in this case, new classroom technology. Please explain...
By the way thanks for these videos. The fact that when I watch them, I feel like I understand everything and already knew the information, I feel more relieved. :]
The thesis/line of reasoning is perfect. MC answer is C. It's not a federal mandate because states have the option to say no. They' only have to meet the requirements if they want to get the money, so that's conditions of aid for a categorical grant. Mandates are somethings states MUST do regardless of whether there's money offered or not.
@@CareyLaManna Ohh, alright. That does make sense. And Categorical (project) grants are based on merit, I guess that's the requirement in terms of merit in this case.
Does that mean mandates never come with grants? I know that the No Child Left Behind Act is an example of a mandate.
But also, for example, cross-cutting requirements (I believe that's what it's called), when they had to change the drinking age to get highway funds. What would that be considered? A (categorical) grant with a requirement, or just a mandate?
Thanks for replying, and sorry for the long response I just want to understand everything I'm confused about.
For your categorical grants slide, you said the right definition but wrote the wrong one in the video.. But thanks for these videos in general, my class has been using them all year!
Awesome, thanks. Glad you noticed I said the right thing at least :)
Is this good? I never learned how to properly write a thesis statement in class.
Government surveillance programs violate individual rights because the 4th amendment states that without a warrant no one is allowed to forcibly enter another persons home. Although keeping the nation safe is everyones top priority we need to take into consideration people's individual rights along with the 4th amendment.
Yes! You would earn the thesis point. You actually had the point after just the first sentence. There's no need to elaborate beyond that. Make a claim and establish a line of reasoning, you did it in the first sentence. Good job
Do we need to know anything about the enlightenment philosophers for this test?
Not specifically, no. That's background info that can't hurt but no you won't be tested on Rousseau v Locke or something
Thesis practice: While tension and worry remain high in regards to the aftermath of 9/11, an increase in governmental surveillance violates individual rights because the constitution's 4th amendment vividly states that people are protected from unreasonable searches and seizures unless a specific warrant is present.
do you think this is good? thank you for taking the time to make these they are so much help!
Perfect!
You are such a lifesaver bro
10:28 Categorical grant?
I know I know to my everlasting shame :(
Carey LaManna no, I was just guessing the answer and I think that you are doing an amazing job and also really helping me with the gov but I’m still struggling with my argument essay but I now I can do better :)
Hey I got one question, for the argument essay I always struggle to find a second piece of reasoning and evidence what do you guys suggest I do to make it easier for me to find?
I love the vids they help so much. Also I struggle when I write the line of reasoning, do I include one reason that both my examples will support or two different reasons that support the 2 different examples?
Aduleil Shareeve I totally get that struggle!! What I would suggest is picking an argument that you know you can support with two pieces of evidence right off the bat. You may feel that you want to take a certain stance but find that finding evidence for the stance is difficult. The argumentative essay isn’t about whether your stance is correct or incorrect so really focus on picking an argument that you’re comfortable with defending. As for you second question, I’d say you can likely do either. I sent in a practice FRQ to my teacher where I used two different reasons and I got really good feedback. I don’t think it matters as long as your evidence backs up what you’re saying.
Aki Kankanamage thank you!!
Aduleil Shareeve ofc!! And good luck :))
Wish me luck this is my first AP test today
Haha I’m watching this before I take the class at all
Would one thesis and 1 paragraph of evidence be enough? or are 2 paragraphs of evidenced necessary?
After the Events of 9/11 some Americans advocated for an increase in federal power, such as surveillance programs. However, these programs are infringing on a citizen's right to privacy and security within their home, which is very unconstitutional.
Great!
I am so upset my school does not offer ap courses like this
That sucks...you can learn the course through these videos and sign up for the test if you want though!
Is this good?
Although there may be benefits of additional security, there are protections of the 4th amendment against unreasonable searches and seizures, therefore government surveillance programs do violate individual rights.
Also, is there anything other than the 4th amendment that would make this illegal/violate individual rights?
Very good
