Thanks, Jay... I think...<P>11: Well, the AoC did divide powers between the Fed (such as it was) and the states, but if you mean the CURRENT federal government, the constitution.<P>12: Well, let's see. Constitution was written in late 18th century. Got to have time for Washington's eight years, and probably eight for Adams. 1800-1820.<P>13: Well, my history of the specific course of the Revolutionary War is a little vague. I know that we lost Bunker Hill (really Breed's Hill, but who's counting?), but inflicted heavy casualties. Not really a loss. Valley Forge was pretty bad. I'd have to say that.<P>14: Not A or B. Or E. <IMG SRC="http://flare.solareclipse.net/smile.gif"> I'd have to go with C. Most of the FF's, from what I gather, were rather isolationist.<P>15: The Monroe Doctrine was the statement that Europe should get its nose out of our hemisphere. Something that they have yet to do, as the existance of French Guiana shows. <IMG SRC="http://flare.solareclipse.net/smile.gif"><P>16: Tocqueville. One of his more brilliant observations was that our democracy would only endure so long as the politicians didn't realize they could bribe the people with their own money.<P>17: A rap singer. An oxymoron, I know, but...<P>18: 1861-1865, to be precice.<P>19: Yorktown was during the Revolutionary War, so presumably MacArthur and Grant wouldn't have been there. Nor Sherman. Obviously, Washington.<P>20: Hmm. This one stumps me. The first two were a couple of the stupidist supreme court decisions ever made. We've already established the fourth one's aim. I have to say C.
