Chapter 8, Lesson 3 Learning Target: How Government Works NATIONAL GOVERNMENT

Some Background Knowledge… From 1781 to 1783, the capital city of the United States was Philadelphia, PA…NOT Washington, D.C. Why do you think that is? The United States Capitol building has about 540 rooms. The bronze State of Freedom is the crowning feature of the dome on the Capitol.

Building on our Schema! We learned in the last unit on Citizenship that government needs POWER and AUTHORITY to work. One person can not have all of the POWER and AUTHORITY. The POWER and AUTHORITY go to a group of people.

Building on Our Schema! We have learned that the Government is like a tree. There are 3 branches that work together to keep our nation safe and equal. Each branch has a different job. But they all work together.

Building on Our Schema! What is the capital of our state? What is the capital of our NATION? National leaders meet and work in ________________________________________!
