Diagramming Systems
The diagrams you just looked at were outlining three different systems of government:
The diagrams of these systems of government show how power is distributed among the central government and state/regional governments.
Unitary
Federal
ConfederalSlide7

Line them up!
These three systems of government are all about the distribution of power. How would you place these systems on a “power line,” from most centralized power to least centralized power?
Unitary
Federal
ConfederalSlide15
First of all….Foldable Notes!
Follow these steps to make foldable notes for this lesson:
Fold one sheet of paper in half, long ways (hot dog), to create a crease. Unfold paper and lie flat.
Cut one side in 3 equal parts, creating flaps.
When folded in half, it will look like the image below.

Label Your Foldable:
Draw a line across your foldable. On the outside write the names of the systems of government in order from most centralized to least centralized.
Most Centralized
Least CentralizedSlide17
On the Inside:
Draw a diagram of each system under the appropriate flap and a written description of each system of government.

Checking for Understanding
Remember that systems of government are about how power is distributed between central governments and smaller state/regional governments, not within the governments .
