Government Assignment for Monday 3-16- Notes and Quiz included

Government Class Assignment for Monday, 3-16 Good morning guys. For Monday I want to do 3 things: Review key concepts on Government Structures (Did not feel like we learned much Friday. I will simply note here on my blog key concepts that we will use throughout Government.) Study the notes on Citizenship and Civic Responsibility.  Do a quiz on Citizenship.  Key Concepts on Government Structures:  The 5 purposes of government are essential to know: (general concept- Gov't does for us what we can't do for ourselves..) 1-national defense-  2-order- police protection, etc 3&4-Tax us and provide public goods (like national defense, roads, etc.) 5- Teach people democracy- why we teach government! An autocracy is one person in power. I like to emphasize that they are like an "auto"matic transmission- they are self-empowering! Basically, dictators and Absolute Monarchs.

Government-important additions to notes

As you all know, we use Mr. Dean's notes for Government. The basic notes are good, but need some elaboration that I usually do in class discussion. So I will add and clarify some key points that will be included on the test Tuesday below. Conflict at Constitutional Convention 2 opposing views: Large states v.

Monday 3-16 General instructions/guidance for Government and World History

Good Morning to all my students. As we deal with this virus we are "making history." Never before has our nation had to deal with such issues. Econ students, remember our discussion about how bad it was in the USSR when they ran out of toilet paper... Well, in some places... As the saying came to be in the Great Depression, "how long will it take for the invisible hand to work?" I have no doubt that the laws of self-interest, competition and supply and demand will kick in. Hopefully we won't experience "demand-pull" inflation. (I did notice that steak was really high at Publix Saturday, so I got a good price on rib-eye at Walmart, competition...)  These times make us all have to deal with the realities of life. So much for my excuse of being "BC" (before computers...). Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks? Necessity is the mother of invention/new stuff, right? So I have learned Microsoft Sway. It is a great, easy tool to...
