Question

Each question below presents a hypothesis for developing a historical argument. Select ALL of the questions that a historian's answer to would be influenced by their SOCIAL ideology. There are three.
1)How were colonial constitutions in America different from British colonial charters?
2)How did the Harlem Renaissance affect American culture as a whole during the 1920s?
3)How did desegregation affect the white and black populations of Alabama?
4)What was the diplomatic relationship between the United States and the USSR after World War II ended?5)What weapons were most effective in World War I combat? 6)How did religious intolerance impact different groups of immigrants in early America?

Answer 1

The correct answers are 2, 3 and 6.

The first question is referring to a comparison between founding documents, the analysis of which is wholly related to political science and studies on the organization of a government.

The fourth and fifth questions are specifically inquiring about diplomacy and military combat, so there's not much explanation needed there.

On the other hand, to answer questions 2, 3 and 6 the main thing a historian would need to focus on would be social theory. Matters such as ideological and artistic movements (like the Harlem Renaissance), religious tolerance, racial segregation, and immigration, directly impact how we relate to each other in society.

Hope this helps you out!

Answer 2

These are the three that have to do with social matters, and thus historians' answers would be influenced by their social ideology:

2 )How did the Harlem Renaissance affect American culture as a whole during the 1920s?

3) How did desegregation affect the white and black populations of Alabama?

6) How did religious intolerance impact different groups of immigrants in early America?

As for the other answers:

• 1) has to do with politics/government or political science. (How were colonial constitutions in America different from British colonial charters?)
• 4) has to do with diplomatic history / international relations. (What was the diplomatic relationship between the United States and the USSR after World War II ended?)
• 5) has to do with military history. (What weapons were most effective in World War I combat?)

The three items I noted at first all concern social/cultural topics, and so would be influenced by a historian's own social ideology.
