Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 10.30 Diffusion of Religions and Ideas skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

The Declaration states equality as an ideal and uses it to judge a government’s legitimacy, but it has no direct enforcement mechanism inside the old legal system. A later amendment uses legal commands—‘no state shall’—and couples them with citizenship, due process, and equal protection. The language shifts from philosophical justification to binding constitutional constraint, inviting courts and Congress to act when states violate the principle.

What is the most accurate inference about how the later amendment changes the status of the equality principle?

AIt weakens the idea of equality by removing it from national debate.

BIt treats equality as a temporary wartime slogan rather than a lasting rule.

CIt transfers all responsibility for equality to local customs alone.

DIt transforms equality from a largely aspirational claim into an enforceable constitutional obligation on states.

Solution & Explanation:The passage contrasts an ideal that judges legitimacy with later legal commands that restrict states and can be enforced. That means the amendment turns equality into an enforceable constitutional requirement, which is D.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

One founding text argues that people may alter or abolish a government when a pattern of abuses threatens their rights. Another, written soon after, is less about overthrow and more about prevention: it designs institutions—representation, divided powers, and extended republic—to reduce the chance that any group can turn authority into oppression. Read together, the texts move from justifying revolution to engineering stability.

What relationship between the two founding approaches is best captured by the passage?

AThey contradict each other because one rejects all rights.

BThey both argue that government should be based on hereditary kings.

CThey both claim that factions are beneficial and should be encouraged without limits.

DOne defends the right to replace abusive government, while the other tries to prevent abuse through constitutional design.

Solution & Explanation:The passage contrasts a text that justifies changing government after abuses with a text that builds structures to prevent abuse. That complementary relationship is described in D.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

The writer says he has almost reached the ‘regrettable conclusion’ that many prefer a ‘negative peace’ to a ‘positive peace.’ Negative peace, he explains, is simply the absence of open conflict; positive peace is the presence of justice. By redefining peace this way, he challenges the idea that order is the highest public value and argues that tension can be necessary when it exposes unfairness that society has tried to hide.

What distinction is the writer making between ‘negative peace’ and ‘positive peace’?

ANegative peace means citizens vote; positive peace means they do not.

BNegative peace refers to foreign policy; positive peace refers to domestic policy.

CNegative peace is quiet without justice, while positive peace includes justice even if it requires confronting conflict.

DNegative peace is always better because it avoids all disagreements.

Solution & Explanation:The passage defines negative peace as lack of conflict and positive peace as justice. It argues that confronting tension may be necessary to reach justice. That matches C.
