1 AP UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT AND POLITICS 2006 SCORING GUIDELINES Question 4 6 points Part (a): 2 points One point is earned for each of two reasons discussed. Acceptable reasons for discussion may include: Compromise at Constitutional Convention (representation of large vs. small population states). Compromise among competing interests/protect minority interests. Slow the process. Different types of representation/federalism. An intrabranch check/prevent majority tyranny. Part (b): 2 points One point is earned for a correct identification of a power unique to the House of Representatives, and 1 point is earned for a correct explanation that is linked to the character of the House of Representatives. Acceptable identifications may include: Initiate revenue bills. Choose the President when the electoral college is deadlocked. Impeachment. Acceptable explanations may include: Closer to the people. More representative of and responsive to the public/direct election to two-year terms. Part (c): 2 points One point is earned for a correct identification of a power unique to the Senate, and 1 point is earned for a correct explanation that is linked to the character of the Senate. Acceptable identifications may include: Treaty ratification. Confirmation of judicial and executive appointments. Try impeachments/conviction/removal from office. Acceptable explanations may include: More mature/ august body. More insulated from public opinion/indirectly elected (originally). Longer and/or staggered terms. Reflects state interests. Note: The unique power must be one that is included in the Constitution (e.g., filibuster does not get credit because it is a Senate rule, not a constitutional power) The College Board.

7 AP UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT AND POLITICS 2006 SCORING COMMENTARY Question 4 Overview The intent of this question was to gauge student understanding of the theoretical arguments and rationales for the bicameral structure of the United States Congress and to examine their knowledge of the distinctive powers granted to each chamber. Sample: 4A Score: 6 In part (a) the response earned 1 point for stating that the two houses of Congress were created to prevent tyranny of the majority. The second point was earned for stating that the reason the framers created a bicameral legislature was to slow the legislative process itself and to make sure the process is exhaustively deliberated. In part (b) the response earned 1 point for stating that the House of Representatives has the unique power to introduce fiscal pieces of legislation. A second point was earned for explaining that the reason the framers gave this power to the House is that its representatives are based on population. In part (c) the response earned 1 point for stating that the Senate has the unique power to confirm United States Supreme Court nominees. The second point was earned for the explanation that the Senate was given this power because it represents the states equally. Sample: 4B Score: 3 In part (a) the response earned 1 point for discussing one of the framers reasons for creating a bicameral legislature: to settle the dispute over the Virginia Plan and the New Jersey Plan. The Great Compromise entailed a House of Representatives based upon population and a Senate based on equal representation of the states. The response does not attempt to discuss a second reason and therefore did not earn the second point. In part (b) the response earned 1 point for identifying one power unique to the House of Representatives: it can impeach the president. The response offers no explanation and therefore did not earn the second point. In part (c) the response earned 1 point by identifying one power unique to the Senate: the power to try an impeachment and remove a president from office. The response offers no explanation and therefore did not earn the second point The College Board. All rights reserved.
8 AP UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT AND POLITICS 2006 SCORING COMMENTARY Question 4 (continued) Sample: 4C Score: 1 In part (a) the response discusses checks and balances but it does not provide a correct discussion of why the framers created a bicameral legislature and therefore earned no points. In part (b) the response earned 1 identification point for stating that the House of Representatives has the power to orginate [sic] all bills relating to money. The response does not provide a correct explanation of why this power was given specifically to the House and therefore did not earn the second point. In part (c) the response does not correctly identify a constitutional power unique to the Senate and therefore did not earn the identification point. Since the response does not correctly identify a unique power, it did not earn the explanation point The College Board. All rights reserved.
