At the beginning of the year, we discussed Harold Laswell's Axiom, "Politics is the study of who gets what, when and how."
After all you have learned this year about government, choose of the seven principles of democracy that you think is the most important to ensuring a fair and just fulfillment of Laswell's Maxim.
To put it more simply: On which democratic principle would our leaders focus most to achieve the best results when deciding "who get's what, when and how?"
Remember, the seven principles of democracy are:
1) popular soveignty
2) republicanism
3) individual rights
4) checks and balances
5) separation of powers
6) limited government
7) federalism
A suggested structure would be to first explain why this priniciple is so important to democracy in general, provide backgroun information about what this prinicples does and how it opperates within our system. Then, focus on how it can, in the real world with examples, help us make the best decisions about "who gets what, when and how."
