3 Foldable:
4 OUTSIDE
5 Inside Center
6 Reviewing Prior Knowledge Magna Carta Magna Carta Quick facts: Signed in 1215 by King John Limited the power of the King The Magna Carta stated that man should not be judged by one powerful individual, the king. Instead man should be judged according to the law and by a jury of his peers.
7 Reviewing Prior Knowledge Tyranny in the Colonies There must always be one tax to keep up the right to tax the American colonies. I desire what is good. Therefore, everyone who does not agree with me is a traitor.
8 Reviewing Prior Knowledge Grievances in Declaration of Independence Some Grievances: He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good. For depriving us in many cases, of the benefit of Trial by Jury For imposing taxes on us without our Consent Summary: imposing taxes without the consent of the people suspending trial by jury limiting judicial powers quartering soldiers dissolving colonial legislatures
9 Let s Practice Which statement is true? A King George III included the colonists in all decisions that he made about the colonists. B The Magna Carta stated that man should be judged by his peers rather than by one individual. B!
10 Let s Practice Which of the rulers below abused their power? A and D
11 What is rule of law?
12 What is Rule of Law? DEFINED. We have explored some history and rulers who have abused power. When the writers of the United States Constitution formed our government they included an important constitutional principle called RULE OF LAW Rule of law means that.. No one is above the law!
13 Characteristics: No Rule of Law In countries with no rule of law, citizens can be imprisoned for long periods of time without knowing what they have been accused of. The wealthy may have more privileges under the law than the poor. People are not entitled to a trial by jury, their fate may be decided by one person. General Idi Amin of Uganda under is reign an estimated 300,000 civilians were massacred. Leaders in countries with no rule of law are NOT required to follow the law.
14 Let s Practice Which constitutional principle is it? Select the constitutional principle that explains Rule of Law. Choice A Rule by the people comes from preamble Choice C A system that allows each branch of government to limit the powers of the other branches in order to prevent abuse of power Choice B Division of power between the national and state governments Choice D An idea that nobody is above the law, everyone is bound by the law Choice D
15 Let s Practice Characteristic selection: Decide whether the characteristics describe a society that follows rule of law one that does not. Characteristic #1 Fear of the police Rule of Law??? OR No Rule of Law??? Characteristic #2 Trial by a jury of peers Characteristic #3 Laws apply equally to everyone regardless of their position in society Characteristic #4 Judges make decisions based on personal opinion Rule of Law??? OR No Rule of Law??? Rule of Law??? OR No Rule of Law??? Rule of Law??? OR No Rule of Law???
16 Importance of protecting citizens from a government that abuses power Citizens are in constant fear of arrest with no cause Leaders and the wealthy do not have to follow the law Citizens are not given the privilege of trial by jury Citizens have no say in the law making process Citizens are taxed without representation
17 What does arbitrary abuse of power look like? See examples of governments and people in leadership positions abusing their power. Imagine if you felt like police officers were only abusive and never helpful. How would it be if leaders taxed you without allowing you representation in your government? Think about being put in jail for long periods of time without knowing why. Did you know under Adolf Hitler millions of innocent lives were lost? Another leader who was known to have abused his power was President Richard Nixon.
18 Let s Practice Read the scenario and decide if it is RULE OF LAW or NO RULE OF RULE. Scenario #1: Carson Marley, a famous pop singer, is pulled over by a police officer for speeding. Instead of giving Mr. Marley a speeding ticket, the police officer got his autograph and let him speed away. Scenario #2: Mayor Winter is caught stealing money from the city s treasury. He is placed under arrest and is informed of the charges. Scenario #3: Farrah Timmons, an FBI agent, has been arrested for fraud and is awaiting trial by a jury of her peers. Rule of Law No Rule of Law Scenario #4: Jamal West was arrested and thrown in jail. Nobody will inform Jamal of the charges against him.
19 Impact of the rule of law on governmental officials and offices Be accountable to the written law Follow fair procedures Government officials and offices must Make decisions based on the law Be consistent in enforcement of the law which means that each person is treated the same no matter who they are
20 Fair Justice This basically means that the general public must ```````` Know the written law Participate on juries Understand how the legal system, court system and court procedures.
21 Transparency Example: arency/ Transparency promotes accountability and provides information for citizens about what their Government is doing.
22 Let s Practice Choose the two images that show the positive impact of the rule of law on governmental officials and offices. Choice A Choice B Choice C Choice D
23 Recap and Review: Rule of Law I prefer a government of laws and not of men. Rule of law states that no one is above the law whether you are rich, poor, president, governor or even a police officer. Everyone is equal under the law. It also states that judges and juries must base all of their decisions on the law. In addition, citizens are well aware of laws to be followed. John Adams, 6 th President of the United States
24 Recap and Review: Rule of Law President Theodore Roosevelt clearly understood rule of law and the impact of rule of law on the United States Government. "OURS IS A GOVERNMENT OF LIBERTY BY, THROUGH AND UNDER THE LAW. NO MAN IS ABOVE IT, AND NO MAN IS BELOW IT." Theodore Roosevelt, 26 th President of the United States
25 Final Practice Match the individual to the quote that displays an arbitrary abuse of power. I desire what is good. What good fortune for King George III governments that the people do not think. Declaration of Independence: Grievance against Great Britain and King George III President Richard Nixon Adolf Hitler When the President does it, it is not illegal. Therefore, everyone who does not agree with me is a traitor. For imposing taxes on us without our Consent?
26 Lesson Review Rule of law is an important part of our American government. Rule of law is a term that means that nobody is above the law and that those who govern are bound to follow the law. Rule of law also makes sure that judges and juries base all of their decisions on the written law rather than their personal opinions. Rule of law also means that people are aware of the laws that they are to follow. In addition, rule of law means people are able to serve of juries and people have knowledge of how the legal system works. Rule of Law also makes sure government officials and offices are accountable to the written law
