C1.1(1) What is “Civics”? What it means to be an American citizen Comes from Latin word “civis”: citizen “Civic Life” v. “Private Life” the public life of the citizen concerned with the affairs of the community and nation (CL) the personal life of the individual devoted to the pursuit of private interests. (PL)

C1.1(1) “Politics” the process by which a group of people reach collective decisions that are generally regarded as binding Seek the power to influence their government accomplish goals they could not realize as individuals “Government” The authority, or power, that rules on behalf of a group of people “Ideals” Beliefs that form the basis of a nation

C1.1(1) Why is the American Form of Government Unique? Government of the people, by the people, for the people “of” – all citizens can serve in government “by” – we created our form of government “for” – government exists to serve us, we do not exist to serve it

C1.1(1) We are an “Extended Limited Commercial Federal Democratic Republic” -James Madison, “The Federalist Papers” ( ) “Extended” refers to geography — never before in history has there been a republic that covered so much territory. “Limited” means the Constitution clearly defines what the government can and cannot do. “Commercial” refers to our national character (not ruled by religion or the military) “Federal” means we have both state governments and a national government “Democratic” means all men and women are created equal “Republic” means as much power as possible is held by the people
