Types of Government: Challenge
We will be trying to figure out the REAL world governments of a few countries from the Middle East based on news articles.
Things to remember while you complete this assignment:
1. Most governments do not fall completely into one category, so you may have to identify several categories for 1 country.
For instance, a country might have a king (monarchy) but also vote for elected officials (legislature). This would be a parliamentary monarchy, but you could say that it is somewhat of a monarchy and somewhat of a democracy.
2. Some governments do not represent themselves truthfully (remember North Korea). If a country has voting, but there is only 1 person to vote for, is it REALLY a democracy?
Here are the steps you should follow:
1. Open each link below (one at a time).
2. Read the article about the country.
3. After you are finished reading, decide what type OR types of government the country falls into.
4. Explain your reasoning (could include key words, or hints).
HINTS: You may need to log in with Google. You may be able to select a different reading level (lower numbers = easier reading level).
