Unit 1 mastery project
1.Pluralist democracy- governing through many groups of interest, with more representation of the people and is better for the people over the government.
Elite democracy- When a small group of people make all the decisions, mostly benefiting the country.
Participatory democracy- Where the people have all of the power and they get to choose and vote who the leader is going to be.
2. Federalist 10- Wants a large republic because this would in-tale more diversity thus increasing variety of parties to prevent oppression.
Brutus 1- Wants a smaller republic because with a larger one there would be a constant butting of heads causing many problems.
3. Federalists want a large central government because they believe it will hold the nation together better where as the anti-federalists believe more in states rights because they feel there would be a misuse of power over states.
4. When all states have one vote each it leaves the central nation powerless. Due to the thread of monarchy that early Americans were running from there was no defined leadership and so therefore America was left leaderless.
5. The great compromise was created to give equal rights to states and central government. With representatives and senators from each state. The compromise helped eliminate the gap in division between all of the states.
6. One example is giving power to the central government over the states because some states make laws that the federal government haven't passed yet and it causes much conflict.
7. Separation of Powers- specific powers are assigned to each branch so that each branch has equal power.
Checks and Balances- power that one branch has over another but not the other so one branch doesn't become too powerful. Like rock, paper, scissors.
8. Congress creates the policy then sends it to the president to be vetoed or not. Then, the judicial branch reviews the policy. In all, every branch is needed to pass laws in government.
9. Cooperative vs Dual Federalism. State and central government both want to have more power and have always been trying to obtain it over the other. But each need the other to carry out governmental objectives.
10. The allocation and scope of central power within a federal structure was one branch of government could question the scope of power because giving power to states over businesses could be potentially volatile. This is where congress comes in to make a decision as to if the states were out of hand or in line.
