shout out to those here in 2021 preparing for an actual full exam. anyways, here's my thesis statement: Extensive government surveillance systems violate a persons privacy based on the decision made in Roe vs. Wade, especially when increased due to fear.

[@Tydown130]

Hi Carey! I got a 5 on my gov test!!! Big props to you man thank you for helping me through this corona test :)))!

[@lilaperl5423]

FRQ thesis: Although it is sometimes necessary for the government to heighten their duties during times of duress, the governmental evidence powerfully demonstrates that government surveillance programs such as the one conducted following the 9/11 attacks are a violation of indiviual rights in direct contrast to the 4th amendment and the 14th amendment implied right to privacy. edit: I just started cramming with only 9 days left to go, so I hope this is a good start!!

[@xinhatcher5402]

Yea I just started cramming with less than 13 hours to go (8 of which I will be sleeping for) but your thesis looks good, only thing is my Gov teacher told me by using two separate amendments, the evidence would both technically count as the constitution and therefore would only be counted as 1 piece of evidence. Not sure how reliable that is but yea!

[@katiestroot2002]

im here the night before :D we got this lol

[@serenitybeats1677]

I can’t believe we’re actually taking the exams at home smh. It all feels so surreal. :(

[@emilykelly7639]

While surveillance programs may infringe upon people's right to privacy, they ultimately uphold people's natural rights rather than violating them. This is an example of social contract, the idea that the purpose of government is to protect the people at the expense of some of their individual freedom.

[@CareyLaManna]

This probably works. Given the argument you're making I would simply it and try to avoid admitting that it infringes on people's right to privacy. Try "Surveillance programs uphold people's natural rights rather than violating them and exemplify the social contract, the idea that the purpose of government is to protect the rights of the people."

[@Minuey]

^^ Try to avoid admitting to flaws. All they want to see is if you can form and present an argument, even if it isn't entirely accurate.

[@yuriyu279]

I think this one will work normally, but this year the new rubric takes away the requirements for a concession paragraph. I watched a video in which the CollegeBoard US Gov. chief reader commented on different thesis statements, and when he saw one example that includes a counterargument, he said that it wouldn't earn the point (this year).

Thesis: Government surveillance programs violate individual's rights since they impose on an individual's right to privacy and would be considered "unreasonable search and seizure" under the 4th amendment since the individual would not be aware of the use of their technological information by the government. Is this good or could I improve it in some way? Also, thank you for your videos!

While just following your videos throughout the semester, by the time of the AP test I didn’t do any additional studying, but I got that 5!

[@kayleeshen5514]

This is just an argument (I don't necessarily believe this but this was the easiest for me to prove): Government surveillance programs would not violate individual rights as a result of the "necessary and proper" clause in the Constitution that allows for the federal government to temporarily limit individual freedoms for national security purposes. Would this work?

[@ixxiekoo]

its almost 1 am the day of the exam :) love this coronavirus affecting my studies severely :) but on a serious note, thank you so much Carey for these videos. at least they give me hope and actually teach me!

[@shaniinbari3563]

My thesis: Government surveillence programs do not violate individual rights because the government does this to fulfill some of its most essential obligations: to protect the peoples' natural right to life, to ensure domestic tranquility, and to provide for the common defense, as these duties are outlined in the Constitution and Declaration of Independence

I made a short, and broad thesis. I am wondering I will get the point for the thesis. Here it is: Government surveillance does not violate individual rights because this program helps protect public interest.

[@allybn3489]

Although increased surveillance may strengthen public safety precautions it expands federal power beyond what is delineated in the constitution and beyond what is granted by the elastic clause by violating the fourth amendment protection against unreasonable search and seizure. How is this? Also thank you, my class is still learning about the bureaucracy and we haven't started reviewing yet so this is so helpful!

[@CareyLaManna]

Not bad. But make sure to explicitly state that it violates individual rights since that's what the prompt said.

This is my first AP test and I am still getting the hang of writing arguments... Government surveillance programs violate individual rights because according to the 14th amendment every citizen has the right to privacy, and the surveillance programs go against a person having privacy.

You sound like a pro already! Great job. Small thing: no single amendment establishes the right to privacy, so I'd leave the 14th amendment part out, but otherwise it's perfect

The Bill of Rights, particularly Amendments 1 and 4 of the United States constitution, detail the natural rights of citizens to, respectively, exercise their "freedom of speech" as well as their right to be "secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects." Government surveillance programs, especially ones discreet in nature and in purpose, threaten and potentially violate these notions outlined in the constitution.

[@dailenking4455]

Although events such as 9/11 cause proper reasoning for government surveillance programs to be established, such programs would mostly serve to impede individual rights. Established programs such as these would blatantly go against the 4th Amendments right to privacy.

Very good

I think I noticed a mistake in this video, Mr. LaManna. Around 10:13, the definition for a Categorical Grant isn't on screen. It's the same as the Block Grants.

You're absolutely right. Same definition on there twice in a row. At least what I said is right. Sigh. :-/

Although the proclaimed intent of government surveillance programs is to protect citizens from the threat of terrorism, the violation of individual rights and privacy is unconstitutional and goes directly against the fourth and ninth amendment, which are the right against unreasonable searches and the unenumerated rights of the people, respectively. (Megan Audette, period 7)

thesis : Although there is a need for better security features, without probable clause unreasonable searches are against the 4th amendment of the constitution, in this case government surveillance programs violate individual rights since there is no probable clause behind each individual being recorded with in their rights. please answer

[@CareyLaManna]

Very good

[@DKCrules50]

10:27 answer is D. The federal government will give money to the states to purchase things for a specific purpose ONLY if .they participate in the program. So I could see C. but I believe D. is the best choice

[@invvsanity105]

I believe c because a federal mandate is a law that all states must follow. This law only offers them money if they follow, thus making it a categorical grant as the money goes under education purposes. A federal mandate is a law that no matter what they must follow, funded or not.

Choose either Congress or the Supreme Court, and present an argument for why your choice is most responsible for advancing the principle of equality of opportunity in the United States.

Hey Colin, so you have to to do two things: make a claim and establish a line of reasoning. So you need to say that either Congress or the Supreme Court is most responsible blah blah and then say BECAUSE and establish a line of reasoning. Your because can be really simple, it's not actually a piece of evidence but you need to give some kind of reason why you selected the one that you did.

Governmental surveillance programs do not violate individual rights because the programs don't violate any of the natural rights outlined in the constitution, nor do they violate any of the rights given amendments to the constitution.

Thesis practice: While tension and worry remain high in regards to the aftermath of 9/11, an increase in governmental surveillance violates individual rights because the constitution's 4th amendment vividly states that people are protected from unreasonable searches and seizures unless a specific warrant is present.

You absolutely can. There's no need to acknowledge an alternate perspective or the purpose of those programs. You can get right to the claim: Government surveillance programs violate individual rights because...

[@ingridmattig7900]

Government surveillance programs do not violate individual rights as information willingly posted on social media platforms has changed the meaning of reasonable expectation of privacy.

Great

[@dhanvinyajaman]

Is the answer C because while block grants are a broad area, giving money for technology specifically in the classroom would be categorical grants so C?

Exactly. If the grant was just for "education" it would have been block but being classroom tech is specific so it's categorical.

[@aspenlevin912]

While the debate hangs over the concept of freedom and safety, the government usage of surveillance programs do violate the right to privacy as stated in the 4th Amendment.

[@xquintessential]

[@user-rl3lj5cw8h]

While some Americans believe that individual rights and privacy are important societal regulations, it would be increasingly beneficial for the government to have the rights of surveillance. It would protect the nation as a whole, combat foreign threats, and strengthen the republic, which weakens factions.

[@CareyLaManna]

Good. I think you should explicitly state that the surveillance does NOT violate people's rights. It's clearly implied, but my advice is to be as specific to the prompt as possible

[@SammtheVann]

After the Events of 9/11 some Americans advocated for an increase in federal power, such as surveillance programs. However, these programs are infringing on a citizen's right to privacy and security within their home, which is very unconstitutional.
