10 Important Historical Documents The United States of America was founded on certain basic principles. Consent of the governed People are the source of any and all governmental power. Limited government Government is not all powerful and may do only those things people have given it the power to do. Rule of Law The government and those who govern are bound by the law. Democracy In a democratic system of government the people rule. Representative government In a representative system of government, people elect public officeholders to make laws and conduct government on their behalf. These principles originated with several great philosphers John Locke, Thomas Hobbes, Montesquieu, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau. 1. John Locke an Enlightenment philosopher believed that government should be based on an agreement between the people and the rulers or a social contract. He believed that men have certain natural rights, the main rights of life, liberty, and property. He said that rulers get their power only from the consent of the people. These ideas had a tremendous effect on all future political thinking. The American Declaration of Independence clearly reflects Locke's teachings. 2. Thomas Hobbes believed that people are incapable of ruling themselves, primarily because humans are naturally self-centered and quarrelsome and need the iron fist of a strong leader. He came up with a formula for an ideal state in which all citizens would live together under the terms of a social contract. 3. Montesquieu was a French political philosopher who developed the theory that governmental powers should be divided between executive, legislative, and judicial branches. 4. Jean-Jaques Rousseau wrote a book on the origins of government, The Social Contract, stating that no laws are binding unless agreed upon by the people. This idea deeply affected French thinking, and it became one of the chief forces that brought on the French Revolution about 30 years later, as well as influencing the creators of the government in the United States. James Madison was influenced greatly by the writings of these philosophers and was considered the Father of the Constitution. He was an American statesman and political theorist, who also became the fourth President of the United States ( ). He was also the key author of the United States Bill of Rights. These major documents of the United States are based on the writings of these philosophers. a. Charters of the VA Company of London b. The VA Declaration of Rights c. The Declaration of Independence d. The Articles of Confederation e. The VA Statute for Religious Freedom f. The Constitution of the United States, including the Bill of Rights, and The Preamble L.

12 Philosophical Chair: Checks and Balances A Philosophical Chair is a format for classroom discussion that ensures respectful dialogue, mutual understanding, and deep engagement into the subject matter. In order to fully participate in a Philosophical Chair you must first research the topic with the idea of gaining a more thorough understanding of it. You will be participating in a Philosophical Chair in class on the following topic: Without an established system of checks and balances, a truly democratic government is not feasible. Separating power among the legislative, executive, and judicial branches of government helps to prevent any one branch from abusing its power. A system of checks and balances gives each of the three branches of government ways to limit the powers of the other branches. The system of checks and balances protects against the abuse of power by any one branch of the government. John Adams, in a letter to Dr. Benjamin Rush, stated: "I call you to witness that I was the first member of Congress who ventured to come out in public, as I did in January 1776, in my 'Thoughts on Government,'...in favor of a government with three branches, and an independent judiciary..." By the time the Constitution was adopted, the idea of checks and balances was supported by all of the members of the Convention. James Madison, the father of the Constitution, devoted five Federalist Papers to an explanation of how the Executive, Legislative, and judicial branches were to be wholly independent of each other, yet bound together through an intricate system of checks and balances. Madison believed that keeping the three branches separated was fundamental to the preservation of liberty. He wrote: "The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands, whether of one, a few, or many... may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny." George Washington, in his Farewell Address, reminded Americans of the need to preserve the Founders' system. He spoke of the "love of power and proneness to abuse it which predominates in the human heart" and warned of the "necessity of reciprocal checks of political power, by dividing and distributing it into different depositories (offices) and (making) each (branch) the guardian... against invasions by the others (branches)." Of such checks and balances through the separation of powers be concluded, "To preserve them must be as necessary as to institute them." L. Ellis, D. Curran, P. Stark, R. Wagner Gifted Resource Teachers, Suffolk Public Schools Page 12
13 Central Statement/Topic: Philosophical Chair Without an established system of checks and balances, a truly democratic government is not feasible. Answer the following questions before making any decisions about the topic: 1. Compare the benefits and drawbacks a government may face from instituting a system of checks and balances Checks and Balances Advantages Drawbacks 2. Thinking about the time and society in which the constitution was written, [1] why were the founding fathers so adamant about including a system of checks and balances? [2] What were their fears and [3] were those fears justified? L. Ellis, D. Curran, P. Stark, R. Wagner Gifted Resource Teachers, Suffolk Public Schools Page 13
14 Are you in support of or opposition of the central topic/issue? Use this space to log argument(s) supporting your position: References you used to support your position. L. Ellis, D. Curran, P. Stark, R. Wagner Gifted Resource Teachers, Suffolk Public Schools Page 14
15 Reflection After the Philosophical Chair: Explain why you believe your opinion is correct. What problems or issues have you discovered about our governmental system of checks and balances? Describe ideas about the topic presented during the exercise that you had not originally thought of? Do you think our system of checks and balances is still working? Please elaborate your thoughts on this issue. L. Ellis, D. Curran, P. Stark, R. Wagner Gifted Resource Teachers, Suffolk Public Schools Page 15
16 Choose two of the activities below to complete. Choice Menu Hanging Mobile What would happen if we had no laws in our country? Describe what life would be like At home? At school? In your city? In your state? In your country? Create a mobile that shows/explains what life would be like with laws and without laws at each place. Your mobile must include comparisons using text and pictures. Public Service Announcement Complete a blank map of the United States for the Electoral College. Choose one of the states. From your states point of view agree or disagree with the current allocation of Electoral College votes for that state.

What problems arise when your rights infringe upon the rights of others? Choose one freedom and research three cases where the exercise of an individual s freedom infringed upon the rights of others. Create a power point stating your position using the researched cases as evidence. Use pictures and text. Peer Poll Create a poll ranking the importance of the First Amendment Freedoms. Poll a minimum of 30 peers to gather your data. Create a graph or chart displaying the data you collected. Write a concluding statement explaining how the results of your poll reflect current societal norms. Venn Diagram and Poster Democrats vs. Republicans.
