4 Responsibilities: 1. Be informed and vote 2. Respect the rights and property of others 3. Volunteer and contribute to the common good
5 All citizens participate in government. There are no representatives in government: The citizens vote on everything! All citizens can create public policy if they want to. Example: In ancient Athens, Greece, they held assemblies where citizens voted to pass laws.
6 Like direct democracy, all citizens participate in government People elect representatives who vote on laws for the citizens Representatives answer to the people through regular elections Representatives are also usually held accountable by a constitution
7 A form of government in which political power is controlled by one individual such as a monarch, dictator, emperor, etc. We re going to talk about two kinds of autocracy Monarchs! Dictators!
8 Rule by kings, queens, princes, and princesses sometimes by other names, but always MONARCHS! Leaders usually gain their power because their parents were rulers too. Some modern monarchies like Spain and Japan have constitutions.
9 In a dictatorship, power is not inherited, but is acquired by force (military or political) Dictators have absolute control over the lives of their citizens and usually people are not allowed to voice their negative opinions North Korea s leader Kim Jong Un is considered a dictator
10 Rule by few Power can be based on several things: Military strength = Military Junta Family power = Aristocracy Religious control = Theocratic Oligarchy Oligarchies can often come from or lead to other forms of government (like autocracies)
11 Economic system characterized by social ownership and cooperative management of the means of production. Steps to a Utopian Society: 1. Capitalism 2. Socialism 3.Communism
12 A totalitarian system of government in which a single authoritarian party controls state owned means of production. A theory or system of social organization based on the holding of all property in common, actual ownership being ascribed to the community as a whole or to the state.
13
14 No government at all In an anarchy there is no government to make or enforce laws.
15 Federal System: power is shared between the central government and the states Ex: USA, Brazil Confederal System: power lies with the independent states Ex: European Union, Articles of Confederation
16 Unitary System: power lies with the central government and is delegated to the states Ex: Cuba, Dictatorship Parliamentary System: power lies with a parliament which is led by a prime minister Ex: Sweden, United Kingdom
17 Limited the kings power No longer allowed to tax nobles w/out their consent Equal treatment under the law and trial by one s peers Established limited government and rule of law Strongly influenced the writers of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence
18 Further limited the power of the king. Monarchs could not establish their own courts or act as judges. Granted Englishmen more freedoms 1. Inalienable civil and political rights 2. Right to bear arms 3. Impose fine or punishment without a trial 4. No cruel and unusual punishment or excessive bail
19 Pilgrims needed a form of government to survive in Plymouth, Massachusetts (seeking religious freedom) Wrote a compact or agreement that was signed by all the men aboard the Mayflower. An agreement to choose leaders and work together to make their own laws for their new colony. Direct Democracy and self-government in colonial America
20 Developed the idea that the power of government should be divided into branches. Separation of Powers: no one branch has too much control.
21 All people are born equal with certain Godgiven, natural rights. Natural Rights: are the rights to life, to freedom, and to own property.
22 Pamphlet meant to ignite the desire among the colonists for independence. It was Common Sense to want their rights and to fight for them!
23 1. French and Indian War 2. To pay for the war the King taxed the colonists without their consent (No taxation without representation!!) 3. Sugar Act, Stamp Act, Tea Act, Quartering Act, Intolerable acts
24 Boston Massacre colonist are killed by British Troops Boston Tea Party-1773 Colonists dump 342 chests of tea into the Boston Harbor England closes the harbor to punish colonists!
25 Colonists are fed up with Great Britain s punishments. A letter is written to King George III asking him to abolish the Intolerable Acts and to restore their rights as English men.
26 Created the Continental Army to represent the 13 colonies- George Washington chosen as the commander. Delegates began to assume the authority of a Congress (legislature). Decided to declare independence from England and draft the Declaration of Independence!!!
27 Preamble: why they wrote the document Statement of Rights: natural rights-the desired relationship between the people and the government List of Grievances: what the king had done to justify their need to break free of England Statement of Independence: To the world-we are free!
28 First constitution of the U.S.A. The 13 states would work together to deal with large scale issues such as creating an army and dealing with foreign relations. But they were each separate (sovereign) and able to make decisions regarding their own state.
29 Problems: Congress had no power to regulate trade. Congress had no power to enforce laws. No single leader or group directed government policy. No national court system existed. Congress could not pass laws without the approval of 9 states. The Articles could not be changed without the agreement of all 13 states. Congress had no power to collect taxes.
30 It brought up the question, Could the government maintain law and order? Now people were calling for a stronger national government.
31 Well educated Political experience None were women, Native Americans, or African Americans
32 George Washington was chosen to guide the convention. Each state had only one vote All of the work would be kept secret Delegates decided to write an entirely new plan for government.
33 2 Houses for Congress 2 Senators from every state (equal representation) House of Reps would depend on the population of the state (proportional representation)
34 Supported the Constitution Believed that federal law (national) should be supreme over state law.
35 Opposed the Constitution Feared that a strong national government would ignore the rights of the states Feared that a strong national government would favor the wealthy few over the common people
36 Hamilton, Madison, Jay They were essays written to defend the Constitution.
37 Provide a plan for government.
38 Goal of the Preamble Form a more perfect union Establish Justice Insure domestic Tranquility Provide for the common defense Promote the general Welfare Secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity Goal in Simple Terms To unite the states so they can act as a single nation, for the good of all To make sure that all citizens are treated equally To provide peace and order To be ready militarily to protect the country from attack To help people live healthy, happy, prosperous lives To guarantee the basic rights of all Americans and future generations
39 Article 1: Outlines the legislative branch- 2 house made up of Senate/House of Reps (lawmaking body) Article 2: Outlines the executive branch- (carries out the laws) -President and Vice President (how they are elected and how they can be removed)-lists Pres. powers Article 3: Outlines the judicial branchinterprets the laws and sees that they are carried out fairly (1 Supreme Court and lower courts)
40 Article 4: Explains the relationship between the states and National Government (federalism) Article 5: Describes when and how the Constitution can be changed (amendments) Article 6: Declares the Constitution the Supreme Law of the Land Article 7: Describes how the Constitution was to be ratified
41 There are 27 amendments to the Constitution and the first 10 are called The Bill of Rights.
42 The Framers understood that the Constitution was delicately balanced. Therefore, they made sure that it could not be changed without the overwhelming support of the people.
43 Step 1: Propose an amendment to the Constitution (Done by 2/3rds of Congress or National Convention) Step 2: 3/4ths of the states legislatures must ratify the change

51 Freedom of religion, press, petition, speech, and assembly.
52 Congress cannot establish or set up an official religion as the faith of the US (Establishment Clause) Protects the way people express their faith, they may express it any way they want. Many people who fist settled here did so because they were seeking religious freedom.
