In this unit, you learned about the different
types of relationships between a government
and its people. In some of these relationships,
the government severely limits the rights that
people have: in others, the people have a
wide range of rights. The relationship
between government and people also
requires citizens to undertake certain actions
for the government to operate effectively.
But this balance between rights
responsibilities, and power varies greatly
between countries.
Should citizens or the government have more
power? What rights should all citizens have?
What responsibilities should all citizens
undertake to make sure their government
runs effectively? Be sure to explain your
answers.
