Answer to Question 1

TRUE

Answer to Question 2

An ideal response will:
1, Explain that all those factors are components of American political culture that represent our core beliefs and help shape how we behave politically and what we think government should do.
2, Explain each of the components, including our preference for individual rights over collective rights, our concern that government does not act in our best interests, our commitment to religion, and our belief that the common person is just as worthy as the elites in society.
3, Discuss the origins of these beliefs, including the philosophical writings of Locke and Jefferson, the thoughts of the Framers of the Constitution, the efforts of the Populist movement, and the commitment to religious freedoms found in the Constitution.
4, Illustrate how these beliefs take form in politics today; for example, American perspectives on government programs that seek to equalize opportunity, the concern over too much government control in the Affordable Care Act, the exhortations of politicianssuch as George H.W. Bush's affection for pork rindsthat they are ordinary folks, and the open discussion of religious faith by Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton in the 2008 presidential campaign.
5, Provide a clear and effective conclusion.
