Big Ideas
- Democratic and governmental processes, such as voting and due process, can be better understood through practical simulations and models.
- Participating in simulations helps students internalize the functions and importance of key democratic processes.
Essential Questions
- What are some key governmental and democratic processes that shape societies?
- How does voting influence decision-making in a democracy?
- Why is due process important in democratic systems?
- How can simulations and models help us understand democratic processes like caucuses?
- What can we learn from participating in these simulations about the workings of real governments?
