18 Thursday Fill in the blanks with the correct information about the Constitution and Branches of Government. Use the word bank to help you. Executive Branch Judicial Branch Legislative Branch President Laws veto The Three Branches of Government The helps write the for our country. Some examples of laws are the law that sets the age for voting, the laws that control pollution, and laws that build public housing. These laws are for the whole country to follow. The is responsible for making sure that laws are followed. The and the people that work for him make sure businesses are factories are following the laws about pollution, builders are building good public housing and elections are fair for all people. The is responsible for making sure that the laws passed by the Congress are fair. If the laws do not follow the rules made in the Constitution then the Judicial Branch can those laws. For example, if the Congress passes a law that says public housing has to be torn down in a city, the Judicial Branch can say that this law is wrong because it doesn t treat people fairly. Use the passage above to answer the following questions. 1) Which branch is in charge of making the laws? 2) What does the Executive Branch do? 3) What does the Judicial Branch do if the laws are not fair?
19 Thursday Read the passage below. Answer the questions following it. Problems Making Decisions The men at the Constitutional Convention argued a lot. Sometimes they even fought over certain issues. Eventually, they had to make compromises. A compromise settles an argument because each side gives up something it wants. Suppose you want to watch one TV show, and your sister wanted to watch another. You could have a fight every week or you could watch your show one week and her show the next. Now, when the Legislative Branch was being created there was a huge argument. The small states (with not that many people) thought that each state should send one representative to Congress. The larger states (the ones with a lot of people) wanted the number of representatives to be based on the population in each state. The small states weren t dumb. They saw that the big states would have more power in Congress if this happened. If a larger state got to send more representatives then those representatives could have a better chance of passing laws they wanted. Eventually, the big and small states came up with the Great Compromise to solve their problems. It was the perfect plan. Congress would be split into 2 sides. This is called bicameral. These sides are called two houses. One house would be based on population and the other house each state would be equal. One side is called the House of Representatives. The number of representatives each state gets is based on population. The other side is called the Senate. Each state gets two senators no matter how big or small they are. Together, the House of Representatives and the Senate make up the Legislative Branch (Congress). It took the writers of the Constitution two months to create this compromise. Use the passage above to answer the following questions. 1) What is a compromise? 2) Tell about a time when you made a compromise.
20 3) Why would large states want the number of representatives to be based on the population? 4) What would have happened to the small states if representation was only based on population? 5) What is the Great Compromise? 6) Do you think the Great Compromise was fair? Explain.
21 Thursday Answer the questions about main idea based on the passage. 1) Which of the following is the BEST title for the WHOLE passage? a. The Articles of Confederation b. The House versus the Senate c. Arguments in the Constitutional Convention d. The Great Compromise 2) Which of these best describes the MAIN IDEA of the first paragraph? a. The members of the Constitutional Convention had to make a lot of compromises. b. The members of the Constitutional Convention were unpleasant. c. The members of the Constitutional Convention came form big and small states. d. Big states were bullies and didn t like small states. 3) Rewrite the main idea of the first paragraph in your own words. 4) Which of the following was NOT a detail from the last paragraph? a. The number of Representatives is based on population. b. The two sides of Congress are the House of Representatives and the Senate. c. The Continental Congress had to make a lot of compromises. d. The Great Compromise took two months to work out. 5) What is the last paragraph mostly about? a. The last paragraph explains the terms of the Great Compromise. b. The last paragraph describes the argument between the small and big states. c. The last paragraph explains the need for compromises in the Constitutional Convention. d. The last paragraph defines the meaning of a compromise. 6) Rewrite the main idea of the last paragraph in your own words.
