The Declaration of Independence
Connecting the Founding Principles
Your Name __________Kevin Brown____________
Your task for this assessment is to demonstrate your understanding of the founding principles reflected in the Declaration of Independence and a modern scenario. Complete the following steps:
1. Choose one modern scenario to analyze, scenario A, B, or C.
Your chosen scenario: ______A________
2. Respond in complete paragraphs to the following questions:
·
Which founding principles does your scenario connect to? Explain using details from the scenario and two of the founding principles.
The principle it connects to is democracy and consent of the government. The reason why it connects to democracy is that it includes all people, and it was decided as a community with the
meeting of higher-ups and a change that was made. Consent of the government is involved because it allows people to do what is needed, and they can have a meeting with the government to get what they want done.
·
How does the Declaration of Independence reflect these same two principles? Explain using details from the lesson.
The Declaration of Independence supports democracy by explaining the rights and equality of the people. This promotes the power of the people to choose what is in their best interest and promotion of
popular sovereignty. This will grant people the right to abolish anything wrong with the government, or any decision made by the government. The government consents to show that the power comes from the people, and they have the right to choose leaders or change in the community’s government.
3.
Include a modern photograph that represents one of the founding principles in action today. Explain how what is happening in the photograph reflects this principle. Use complete sentences.
The community is convening at a government meeting to advocate for changes, with the assistance of the government. They have united as individuals who seek change and are also advocating for what is right for their community and government.
