 The 7 Principles of Government                                      

 

               Madalyn, Davon, Christian, Jesus, Zach

  
 




Individual rights & Separation of Powers                                                                                                         
  Individual rights are the rights of each individual human in the U.S . These are the most important rights because these are "The People's Rights." The people are protected by theses rights like the right to freedom of speech, freedom of  religion , the right to bear arms, and freedom of press are just a few examples. Our Government's power is divided among the three branches of the Government, Legleslative branch, Judicial branch, and the Executive branch. in these three branches the power is divided up equally so one branch is not more powerful than the others.

 

Republicanism

 Republicanism is very important in the Texas government. Republicanism  is a form of government in which people elect representatives to create and enforce laws. these laws are made to protest the state of Texas . even though some of them are  dumb, they still are very important to the government.   

   






 


 Checks and Balances


The system of checks and balances is a huge part of the constitution. They let each of the three branches of government limit the others power. The reason why is no branch can be more powerful that the others. For example the president can veto passed by the congress but the congress can over pass that by getting 2/3 vote.


 

Federalism

Federalism is the for of government which a country is divided into states or provides. It is normally ran by a head Represinitive (maybe the president.) 





Popular Sovereignty
and Limited Government

Popular Sovereignty is where the cities get to decide whether  slavery is allowed or not. This is when slavery was still around and states decided if they wanted slavery or not. Limited Government is where a body with high power is limited. It is established by the constitution or other authorities.

Its Tuesday and I have yet to see any work by your group. Let me be clear, this is NOT what PreAP students are supposed to be doing (slacking). You have had two weekend days as well as two snow days to rest, play, and also catch up on work. Your grade is based on not only submitting your blog but your participation, expectations are high.
