Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 12.24 Sound Devices and Syntax in Poetry skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

Passage 1 (adapted from the Supremacy Clause): Valid federal law is the “supreme law,” and state judges must follow it even when state rules conflict. Passage 2 (adapted from the Tenth Amendment): Powers not given to the national government remain with states or the people.

Which statement best reconciles these passages?

AFederal law prevails over conflicting state law only when the federal government is acting within its constitutional powers; otherwise states retain authority.

BFederal law always prevails, even when it violates the Constitution.

CStates may ignore any federal law if they disagree with it politically.

DThe Tenth Amendment cancels the Supremacy Clause entirely.

Solution & Explanation:Supremacy applies to constitutional federal action; the Tenth Amendment reminds readers that federal power is limited. The best reconciliation is conditional supremacy: federal wins within its enumerated authority.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

Adapted from a civic republican argument: A writer says liberty requires more than rights on paper; it requires citizens who practice self-restraint, learn civic facts, and refuse to trade freedom for short-term advantage.

Which claim best reflects the author’s view of citizenship?

ACitizenship includes civic virtue and informed participation, not merely private life.

BCitizens should avoid learning about politics to stay unbiased.

CLiberty depends entirely on having a strong army.

DRights alone guarantee freedom without any citizen responsibility.

Solution & Explanation:The author links liberty to civic behavior and knowledge—civic virtue—rather than military strength alone or passive rights.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

Adapted from a debate over executive privilege: A president claims communications must remain secret to get honest advice. Investigators argue secrecy cannot block evidence of wrongdoing because no one is above the law.

What principle best balances the two claims?

AOnly Congress, not courts, may weigh evidence in any investigation.

BAll presidential communications are permanently secret in every circumstance.

CPresidents must reveal all conversations publicly every day.

DConfidentiality may be limited, but it cannot be absolute when needed for justice and accountability.

Solution & Explanation:A balanced view recognizes the value of confidentiality but rejects an unlimited privilege that would shield wrongdoing and block legal accountability.
