2.  What two things does the Declaration say we may do if the government isn’t protecting these rights?

In class: Today we wrapped-up Declaration from last class and finished the purple page in your packet. 

You worked with your groups to define and locate 8 systems of government (page 15-16 in your packets). You selected the 2 systems of government that you are most unfamiliar with and found 2 pros/2 cons for the 2 systems. If you didn’t finish this will be homework!
