II. Constitutions and Government (pages 13–14) How important do you think a written constitution is to a democratic form of government? Answers will vary. Students should note the need for limited government. Section 2-5

Checking for Understanding 1. Main Idea In a Venn diagram like the one below, show the similarities and differences between a constitutional government and a government that merely has a constitution. Constitutional government: Constitution authorizes the government to operate within limits set by the constitution. Government with a constitution: Government operates by its own authority with few limits. Both: A written plan exists for organizing and operating the government. Section 2 Assessment-1

Checking for Understanding Match the term with the correct definition. ___ confederacy ___ preamble ___ politics ___ constitutional law ___ constitution D E B C A A. a plan that provides the rules for government B. the effort to control or influence the conduct and policies of government C. law that involves the interpretation and application of the U.S. Constitution and state constitutions D. a loose union of independent states E. a statement in a constitution that sets forth the goals and purposes of government Section 2 Assessment-2

Checking for Understanding 3. Identify The Federalist. The Federalist was a series of articles written by James Madison that addressed issues concerning the launching of a new government. Section 2 Assessment-3

Checking for Understanding 4. Analyze how events in the Middle East illustrate economic interdependence. The U.S. and other nations rely on oil from the Middle East and have intervened militarily and diplomatically to protect oil supplies and maintain order. Section 2 Assessment-4

Critical Thinking 5. Analyzing Information James Madison wanted to prevent “factions,” or special interest groups. Would it be possible to have government without special interest groups? Explain. In a democratic society, government without special interest groups is probably impossible since people want to influence government for their own benefit or that of their communities. In a totalitarian state most political activity is repressed. Section 2 Assessment-5

Section 2 Concepts in Action Global Perspectives Choose five foreign nations and find out about each nation’s basic structure of government. When was its constitution adopted? Is the government democratic? Obtain information from a local library or on the Internet. Section 2 Concepts in Action
