WHERE GOVERNMENTS GET THEIR POWER
Democracies use elections to
justify the existence and
power of government
Dictatorships claim to
protect the people from
other countries and citizens who would hurt
themEuropean and Asian monarchies believed in versions of the divine right of kings – power comes directly from God
What process did I go through that allows me to be your teacher?
GOTTA HAVE A……Every
country has a
government
Differ • In the way leaders are
chosen• How much power is held
by the people
Shaped by traditional (customary, time honored) beliefs of the people and history
Two categories: generally non-democratic and democratic

rule directly or they elect officials who act on their
behalf.
Ancient Greek – rule of the people

CLOSURE On your white board
Who has the power in a democracy?How are absolute monarchies and
dictatorships similar? In what way is a republic also a democracy?
DO NOW What government is present in
the video clip I will show you? What is your evidence?
Take out your Reading Guide and Chapter Walk 2.1
FROM HERE TO THERE Situation:
In your notebook, create a list of everything you do in the morning from when you get up to when you get to school.
Be detailed! Teeth brushing, clothes, food, drink, hair, book bags, what you carry, what you ride, etc. As specific as possible!
Now cross out EVERYTHING that is provided for you by someone else in any way shape or form – everything that you rely on someone else to get or create for you.
PURPOSE OF GOVERNMENT
Lesson: • Whether we like the way we
are treated or not by those in power (by family, schools, towns, country) they provide us with certain services (food, clothes, toothbrushes, diplomas, trash removal, protection)
We cannot manage on our own without the services provided by the government!
The purpose
of governme
nt is to provide
us services without breaking the law.
HOW DO WE SOLVE PROBLEMS LIKE THIS?
1. HELPING PEOPLE COOPERATE
Way to unite, solve problems, and cooperate – life safer and easier – government does this for us
Modern day problems?
RecessionGlobal WarmingTerrorism
2. PROVIDING SERVICESExpensive or
important services to large groupsSchools for all
childrenProtection from attack
LibrariesPolice
HOW ARE THESE THINGS ALIKE?
3. PROVIDING LAWS
Establish national and state governments
Constitution – a written plan of government – highest law in the land. No man or law is superior.
Sets government’s organizationLaws must be
constitutional (agree with
constitution) to be valid
Guide and protect society
4. GUARANTEEING FREEDOM A Republic (representative democracy) protects your freedoms with laws.
Life, Liberty, the Pursuit of Happiness – Dec of Ind.
Freedom of speech, religion, press, etc.Can not be taken away, nor restricted except to keep people from using freedom to hurt others
MACHINE Identify a topic based on any of
the purposes of government (services, laws, cooperation, guaranteeing freedom)
Create an ‘assembly line’ of actions that portray that purpose. Connection between parts.
Example: education. Bus+locker+desk+teacher+notes
Movement & sound & EXPRESSIVE
READ THIS DOCUMENT Read the document I gave you and
complete the first four questions on the analysis worksheet
