Lesson Plan One Government New
The document outlines several political ideologies and theories that influenced the development of the American government. The Enlightenment philosophers sought to promote progress and a more perfect life through freeing humans from ignorance. Key political theories discussed include the Divine Right Theory of kings having God-given rule, Evolutionary Theory of government developing from early families, and Force Theory of rule through conquest. However, the Social Contract Theory, which viewed the state as formed by a voluntary contract for protection and order, influenced the American system the most through philosophers like Hobbes, Locke, and Rousseau.
Lesson Plan One Government 3
Government refers to the system or body that governs a political unit and makes and enforces laws. Government in the U.S. has executive, legislative and judicial branches at the federal, state and local levels. Thomas Hobbes argued that without government, life would be "solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short" due to continual fear and danger. The purpose of government according to the U.S. Constitution is to form a more perfect union, establish justice, ensure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure blessings of liberty. The framers of the U.S. government arranged a federal system to divide powers between the national and state governments, rather than

Democracies can be either direct, where citizens vote on issues directly, or representative, where citizens elect representatives to vote on issues. Oligarchies are ruled by a small, elite group, such as the wealthy, religious leaders, or certain families. Autocracies concentrate power in the hands of a single ruler, such as a dictator or monarch. Anarchy is the absence of any government or law.
Ch 1 Sec 1 And 2
A government is an institution that makes and enforces public policies through legislative, executive, and judicial powers in order to maintain order in society. A state is a body of people living in a defined territory that is politically organized and able to make laws without consent from a higher authority. There are four theories on the origins of the state: evolutionary theory ties the development of states to the evolution of family and social structures; force theory argues that those with strength enforce their authority; divine right theory holds that power comes from God; and social contract theory views the state as arising from an agreement between the ruler and the people.
Unit #1 - Topic #1 Notes
A government is an institution that makes and enforces public policies through legislative, executive, and judicial powers in order to maintain order in society. A state is a body of people living in a defined territory that is politically organized and able to make laws without consent from a higher authority. There are four theories on the origins of the state: evolutionary theory where governments evolved from family structures; force theory where strength determines rule; divine right theory where power comes from God; and social contract theory where power comes from agreement between the ruler and the people.
Types of government
There are several types of governments: autocracy where one person has all power, such as a monarchy where power is held by a king or queen, or a dictatorship where an individual has absolute control. Democracy gives power to citizens, it can be representative where citizens elect leaders, or direct where citizens directly make laws. An oligarchy concentrates power in a small group, while a theocracy bases government on religious law. Anarchy is the absence of any government or centralized power.

Introduction to political science1
Legitimacy, sovereignty, and authority are interrelated concepts. Legitimacy refers to the level of acceptance or obligation that people feel towards their government. Sovereignty is the control a government has over its territory. Authority is the ability of leaders to get people to obey them based on their legitimate power. The origins of sovereignty theory trace back to debates during the Reformation period over the legitimacy of royal power versus religious authority. Jean Bodin's work in the 16th century established one of the first systematic discussions of sovereignty theory, arguing the absolutist monarch was the legitimate source of law within a state.
What is state
This document discusses concepts related to states, governments, and political authority. It defines a state as a compulsory political organization with a centralized government maintaining a monopoly on legitimate use of force within a territory. Governments are systems that govern organized communities, often with the purpose of providing services like law, military, education. Max Weber identified three types of legitimate political authority: traditional (based on long-established customs), legal-rational (based on established laws and rules), and charismatic (based on an individual's extraordinary personal qualities).
Types and forms of government
The document discusses the definition and roles of government. It defines government as a group that governs a community through laws and enforcement. Modern governments provide security, order, justice, welfare, economic regulation and education. Governments have a duty to protect citizens and territory, preserve peace, and ensure livelihoods. Governments can be classified as autocracies, oligarchies, or democracies, and come in different forms and economic systems. The basic purpose of government is to provide security, justice and organization to society.

Summary Of Lesson One
- 1. Kristopher Bryant, Lisa Harrison, Kathy Schreiber, & marlenemendoza (group three) Summary of Lesson One: Theories of Government
- 2. What is a government & what does it do? Government is the institution in a society that enforces public policies which are all the things a government decides to do like health care, criminal and civil law, defense, ect. Government is also when all states are politically organized with a central authority so that anarchy doesn’t occur. There are all types of governments from dictatorships, parliamentary, federal, confederate, unitary and many more. No two governments are exactly alike and all function in different ways.
- 3. Why did governments form? There are various theories like the force theory (that people were forced to submit to a group because they were overpowered), Evolutionary (that the state developed out of family units), Divine right theory(that the right to rule cam directly from God) and the social contract( A theory that people consented to give up some of their rights so that they were protected).
- 4. Basis of our government… The ideas that our forefathers used came from a guy named John Locke. He was a English Enlightenment philosopher that came up with idea of natural rights after imagining life in a state of nature. These rights included Life, Liberty, and Property (Thomas Jefferson changed property into “Pursuit of Happiness”) and those natural rights are in the United States Constitution. Our constitution and all constitutions state a countries laws, customs, and traditions that set a foundation for how the government is supposed to operate and a type of higher law.
- 5. About US Government The US now has a representative Democracy (confederacy was first tried but was unsuccessful). Basically there are three branches in our government the Legislative(which make public policies and laws), Executive (execute laws as well as enforce and administer them), and Judicial (they interpret and determine laws meanings…ex Supreme Court). The US government also uses a system of checks and balances to ensure that not any one branch can gain to much power.
- 6. Other Types of Governments… Presidential- executive and legislative branches are independent and coequal Parliamentary- Members of the executive branch are also members of the legislative branch (the parliament) Dictatorship- Participation in government is limited to the individual or group who rules Direct Democracy-All people participate directly indecision making Representative Democracy-A small group of people chosen by the people make decisions
