10. Quick! We need a New Government! MONARCHY Hail to the King! (or Queen) One person is in charge. This person makes all the rules, enforces the rules, and decides when someone has broken the rules. ANARCHY Everyone for themselves! (Mob Rule) Nobody is in charge, so there are no rules. Everyone makes up their own rules. There is nothing to be enforced or decided. DIRECT DEMOCRACY Let’s all Vote! (On everything. All of the time.) Everyone gets a vote on what the rules should be, how to enforce them, and whether or not someone broke them. Everyone makes decisions voting. REPRESENTATIVE DEMOCRACY Power to the People! (Without so much work.) Everyone votes for a small group of people to represent them. The small group makes all the rules, enforces them, and decides whether their broken. Things to Think About: How will rights be protected? What will life be like for people? Can anyone stop the person in charge from breaking the law? Will people have a say? Any other possible problems?
