Objective 8.1.3 “We the People”

The fundamental principles of democratic government: a. protection of fundamental freedoms b. consent of the governed limited government representative government e. majority rule with protection of minority rights f. rule of law g. popular sovereignty

The fundamental principles of democratic government: Let’s define each principle. Let’s give an example for each principle. (things I will teach)

protection of fundamental freedoms the basic rights of citizens must be guarded (by the government) to prevent them from being taken away

protection of fundamental freedoms the courts prevent Congress from making laws to take away “freedom of speech”

consent of the governed people are the source of all governmental power (citizens have the final say)

consent of the governed An amendment (made by Congress) must be approved by the states

that the people have given it the power to do limited government government may do only those things that the people have given it the power to do (is not all-powerful)

The “Bill of Rights” says what the government can NOT do limited government The “Bill of Rights” says what the government can NOT do

representative government people elect (some of their own) people to make laws and run the government for them

representative government The people in each state send someone from their state to Congress to make laws

majority rule with minority rights the group that has the most votes gets its way; but it can not take away the rights of the others

majority rule with minority rights The Democrats are running Congress, but the Republicans still have a voice

the government (and the people running it) is bound by the law rule of law the government (and the people running it) is bound by the law

The President must live by the same laws that you and I live by rule of law The President must live by the same laws that you and I live by

rule of law Those who rule the United States are required to live under the same laws as the citizens laws
