Government can be described as the way a group of people organize themselves. There are many forms of government.
Wikipedia provides an extensive list of forms of government.
One way to carefully examine things is to compare and contrast them.
1. Learn about how to compare and contrast.
Do this Comparison and Contrast Guide @ ReadWriteThink - online activity.
2. Download/print the Compare and Contrast graphic organizer.

Super techies: If you can do complete this activity using the computer to enter the info and keep the organizer's basic format, Go for it. Make a digital document that replicates the basic format of the doc. Submit the document either by printing it or emailing/drop boxing the edocument itself. (Stuff happens: Always keep a copy of your finished project.) |
3. Select four forms of government. Compare and contrast these forms of governments.
Adopt the above strategy to develop a list of the 4 forms of government in order beginning with the one you
prefer the most to the one you like the least.
| "All power is originally vested in, and consequently derived from, the people. That government is instituted and ought to be exercised for the benefit of the people; which consists in the enjoyment of life and liberty and the right of acquiring property, and generally of pursuing and obtaining happiness and safety. That the people have an indubitable, unalienable, and indefeasible right to reform or change their government whenever it be found adverse or inadequate to the purpose of its institution." James Madison |
