Of the complicated European systems of national polity we have heretofore
been independent. From their wars, their tumults, and anxieties we have
been, happily, almost entirely exempt. Whilst these are confined to the
nations which gave them existence, . . . they can not affect us except as
they appeal to our sympathies in the cause of human freedom and universal
advancement. —President Franklin Pierce, inaugural address, 1853
These remarks best reflect a confirmation of which U.S. president’s foreignpolicy goals?
A George Washington
B James Madison
C James Monroe
D John Quincy Adams

Mexico has passed the boundary of the United States, has invaded our territory, and
shed American blood upon the American soil. And whereas this House desires to
obtain a full knowledge of all the facts which go to establish whether the particular
spot of soil on which the blood of our citizens was so shed was, or was not, our own
soil, at that time . . . This is no war of defense, but one unnecessary and of offensive
aggression. Such a “conquest,” stigmatize it as you please, must necessarily be a
great blessing to the conquered. These excerpts offer different points of view about
—
A the Texas War of Independence
B the admission of California to the Union
C the U.S.-Mexican War
D the acquisition of the Gadsden Purchase from Mexico

A writ of habeas corpus requires an official to bring a prisoner before a civil
court to justify the prisoner’s arrest. President Abraham Lincoln authorized
the suspension of habeas corpus during the Civil War. Ex parte Merryman
In 1861, John Merryman, a citizen of Maryland, was imprisoned by military
order and held without trial. He challenged the power of the president to
suspend habeas corpus. Chief Justice Roger B. Taney reviewed the case
and decided that only Congress had the power to suspend habeas corpus.
President Lincoln and his administration continued to suspend habeas
corpus throughout the Civil War. By ignoring Chief Justice Taney’s ruling,
President Lincoln —
A exercised a constitutional check on judicial power
B disregarded the principle of judicial review
C upheld the concept of federalism
D invoked the principle of separation of powers
