I did a homework check on your "10 Questions About Democracy" work and on the results of your Political Compass survey. I gave you a few handouts today on political terminology that you must master, and another booklet that covered the two main types of representative democratic systems that we'll be examining this semester, namely parliamentary democracies and presidential democracies. I will be picking up where I left off with on the presidential democracy tomorrow. You have your Unit 2 Final Exam tomorrow. Please see the study guide here (scroll down to find it).
