1. A principle is usually some value that you have guiding your action, behaviors, or thoughts. Principles normally revolve around what’s morally right or wrong.

5. Unit 1 – Foundations & Principles of Gov’t

6. What have we covered so far?
Purposes of Gov’t – why do we have a gov’t and what are its responsibilities?
Who can name them all?
Philosophers – people who came up with the major ideas that built our government
Who can name them and explain their ideas?

7. John Locke – human beings are born with natural rights and no one can take them away
People in general are good and the govt should protect their freedom
Thomas Hobbes – human beings are naturally evil and they cannot handle freedom
There must be a strong gov’t that enforces what is right and what is wrong
Life is “nasty, brutish, & short”

8. Principles of Government

9. Principles
A principle is a fundamental source or basis of something, similar to a philosophy
There are many principles that the United States if built upon and each unit we will focus on 2-3 principles that will guide how we study our government
The principles we will cover in this unit are…

10. Limited Government
The Idea: There are things the gov’t cannot do. Citizens have rights that can’t be taken away
Why? If the gov’t could take away whatever rights it wanted (like the right to vote), it would no longer have to listen to its citizens
Example: The gov’t is LIMITED to what the Constitution says it can do

11. Popular = The People’s Sovereignty = Rule
Popular Sovereignty
Popular = The People’s Sovereignty = Rule
The Idea: the gov’t’s power comes from people
Why? B/c a King doesn’t have any power if no one follows him.
Example: If leaders do not follow the people’s will, they will not get votes!
Kings, like this guy, used to believe that God gave them the power to rule, so they didn’t have to listen to their people at all.

12. Consent of the Governed
Consent = Permission
The Idea: The people give their permission to the government to rule them and they can overthrow the gov’t if it is not doing it’s job
Why? Because a gov’t is there to take care of it’s citizens. If it’s not doing that, what good is it?
Example: American colonists felt abused by King George III (English King), so they overthrew him in the Revolutionary War.

13. GROUPWORK: Principles
Principles Readings:
One person in your group reads the paper out loud.
Every one else listens along until they hear and answer. Politely say “Found one!” or “I heard an answer!”
Everyone at the group answers it together.
Continue until you answer all the questions are answered for this reading.

14. Principles & the Philosophers
