Grade 12: Participation in Government and Civics
This course aims to provide students with opportunities to become engaged in the political process by acquiring the knowledge and practicing the skills necessary for active citizenship. Content specifications are not included, so that the course can adapt to present local, national, and global circumstances, allowing teachers to select flexibly from current events to illuminate key ideas and conceptual understandings. Participation in government and in our communities is fundamental to the success of American democracy.
12.G1 FOUNDATIONS of AMERICAN DEMOCRACY: The principles of American democracy are reflected in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights and in the organization and actions of federal, state, and local government entities. The interpretation and application of American democratic principles continue to evolve and be debated.
PLAN OF THE DAY:
Federalist Papers - Federalist 10 - READ for Monday 2/12/18
COPY OF FEDERALIST 10 - WITH HIGHLIGHTS
both of the above found at www.avalon.law.yale.edu
I realize the above reading assignment is weighty. It is supposed to be. I went through and added highlights. Yellow highlights are for main ideas, and blue highlights are supporting arguments for the main ideas. The big picture is: How were our founders trying to lessen the natural human inclination to act emotionally in reaction to sensitive issues? ALSO - I highlighted in RED a part of this essay that suggests the author could not have envisioned our current media and/or information transmission capabilities.
WATCH: Types of Government (STOP at 10:30) Please do NOT play this past 10:30 as it shifts from historical interpretation to partisan dreck!
Historical Explanation of The Federalist Papers
A general explanation of The Federalist Papers
Federalist Papers #10 - explained
The person who made the above video offers a good explanation of Federalist #10. His analogies need a bit of work though. I personally don't think only "rich" people want their property protected.
