Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 11.92 September 11, War on Terror, and Civil Liberties skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

A research task asks students to evaluate a map, a court case, a policy, and a source excerpt related to post-9/11 security. Which guiding question best aligns with this skill?

AWhich military campaign produced the fastest battlefield victory after 2001?

BWhich technology made airport screening more efficient after September 11?

CWhich region became the only focus of U.S. policy after 2001?

DWhich source, policy, map, or court issue best explains the balance between counterterrorism and civil liberties?

Solution & Explanation:The guiding question matches the skill because it asks students to use varied evidence to explain counterterrorism and civil-liberties debates. The other options are narrower or distort the scope of the skill.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

A debate asks whether national-security officials should receive deference during emergencies or whether courts and Congress should impose limits. Which answer best reflects checks and balances?

AThe executive branch is never subject to law during emergencies.

BCourts and Congress have no constitutional role in national-security disputes.

CCourts and Congress could review or limit security policies even when officials cited national security.

DChecks and balances apply only to tax policy and never to war powers.

Solution & Explanation:Checks and balances means national-security claims can be weighed against legal limits and oversight. The distractors give the executive unlimited power or deny other branches roles.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

A student says homeland security was just another name for the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Which correction is most accurate?

AHomeland security was only a treaty with Afghanistan.

BHomeland security included domestic agencies, infrastructure protection, emergency management, and border and transportation security.

CHomeland security had no domestic purpose after 2001.

DHomeland security meant the United States stopped all emergency planning.

Solution & Explanation:Homeland security referred to a broad set of domestic prevention, protection, and response functions. It was related to but not identical with overseas wars.
