The Roman Empire expanded its territory too far beyond it's borders, conquering people who didn't want to be Roman, and becoming over reliant on mercenaries.		The American dollar is devalued due to over printing, too much money being in too few hands, and a rise in the cost of essential goods.
The Roman coin was devalued due to over printing, using less metal per coin, and rampant shaving of coin edges, causing inflation.		The United States polices territories across the world, influencing people to adopt Western values who don't want to, and becoming over reliant on a few military companies.
The leaders of Rome became more corrupt, worse at their jobs, disregarded democracy, and accepted bribes.		The United States trades with countries around the world, like China. Coronavirus-19 traveled from China causing plague in the United States that many people didn't understand.
The Roman Empire traded far and wide. As it traded the merchants spread disease causing plague that the people didn't understand.		The leaders of the United States have become more corrupt, worse at their jobs, many have become more authoritarian, and some accept bribes.

Voting in a Representative Democracy
Step 1 Issues
In Representative Democracy the citizens of a place vote for elected officials to run the government, enact laws, and rule over them. Representative Democracy is a means by which a community can come together to solve a issue equally. As a community our class will now come together to solve a real issue just before with Direct Democracy. First we must come up with an issue to discuss.
Issue: All communities are different. If our class has a particular issue they think is important to solve any student may wait for their turn to speak and put forward an issue.
If you have the "talking stick" no one else may talk. The teacher is the "censor" and may block students from debating if they are not polite and/or talk out of order. A time limit will be placed on the debate. Once the issues have been collected we will raise our hands for each issue. The issue to get the most hands raised will be addressed. The others may not.
Step 2 Actions
Now that an issue has been selected it must be decided who will solve the issue. We will debate back and forth what to do and who will do it. Each candidate for office will have their name written on the board with their proposed solution to the issue. Repeat debate steps from step 1. The teacher may modify actions if they break school or classroom rules as a judge.
Step 3 Voting
A ballot box will be taken out. Each student will be given one paper. Each student will then write the name of the person they believe can solve the issue best. The ballots must be private, others may not see who you voted for if you choose not to share. Each student will take turns dropping their paper (ballot) into the ballot box.
Step 4 Results in Action
The students and the teacher are obliged by the vote results to put the individual voted for charge to solve the issue. This step will be different depending on what was voted on. Depending on the student voted for and the issue to be solved the dictator teacher may invalidate the election if it goes against school rules.
CONGRATULATIONS you participated in Representative Democracy! This is the system the United States of America follows to create it's government.

This assignment is based on PARTICIPATION. The teacher will be recording on his seating chart who did and didn't participate and by how much. You must participate to earn your grade. Voting automatically gives two points. Debating gives one point. If you go over four points all extra points will be turned into PBIS points.
Rubric (How you will be graded in the activity.)
4 - I participated in Representative Democracy within the classroom collecting at least four participation points.
3 - I participated in Representative Democracy within the classroom collecting at least three participation points.
2 - I participated in Representative Democracy by voting (or collected 2 points).
1 - I participated in Representative Democracy within the classroom collecting at least one participation point.
