I need help with American Gov.?

ALL, and I DO emphasize the word ALL, of the answers to these questions can, without a doubt be found in the index and appendices of your standard issue Government book. Trust me, the only kind of answer your teacher is looking for is a simple one that can justify the information that is found in the book. He/she will know right away if someone else has answered the question for you. . .I know because it almost cost me my SENIOR year in High School, not for cheating, but for paraphrasing and plagiarizing someone else's answers. My best advice for you is, if you can't find the information in the book where you would expect to find it, use KEYwords in the questions cross-referenced against the terms listed in the index. For example, Question one, search the index for checks and balances. Question two, look through the constitution in the back of the book, pertaining to Articles four and six. Question three, look into anything pertaining the history of the Supreme Court, again in the index. Question four, look into the the processes and principles, under the House of Representatives, in the index. Of course, for Question five, look BACK into Article Six of the Constitution in the Constitution appendix at the back of the book. And finally, number six. Look for anything in the index under debt, federal government, GDP, tariff, GNP, vice versa. ANYTHING that could possibly relate to federal debt and its purpose or meaning. Trust me, Advice TAKEN by trial and error is better than advice GIVEN by trial and error. It's worth the few extra minutes it will take to you find the answer, than just asking for it; because, in your case, asking for a HAND is no different than asking for a HAND-OUT.
