The judicial branch decides what to do with the laws and all of the behind the scenes.I want to say that my sister and I would belong in this branch because after the rules or whatever we are doing is passed we like to add our own fun touches to it. For example, if we decided to go somewhere on someday then me and my sister would say oh we should bring this or oh we should do this and things of that sort.

The legislative branch comes up with the laws so I would put my dad in this position because he usually comes up with things and then we all talk about it together as a family. So like sometimes he might say, on the weekends we are doing this and it is final or this is what we should do on Friday night. So pretty much he comes up with the stuff and the rest of us either agree or disagree.

The executive branch enforces the laws, so I would probably put my mom in this position since she does the most work in the house and the president is in this branch and she kind of runs the house. She passes the rules/laws and approves them or adds her own little touches to them.

Individual rights means that people have the rights to do things like parties, own guns, have a speedy trial and things of that sort. So in the case with my family I have the right to watch t.v or I have the right to do certain things, and that goes the same for the rest of my family. Like my sister has the right to talk with her friends, my mom has the right to text her friends, my dad has the right to do what he wants and so on so forth.

Limited government means that everyone no matter their position needs to follow the law. So in this case it would probably be something like this, in my family we have a rule that we need to respect others and it doesn’t matter how old the other person is but they still need to follow the same rule. So for example, my dad is the oldest in the house but that doesn’t mean that he doesn’t get to respect the rest of us or he doesn’t get to follow how the rest of us like to be, he needs to follow the same rules as the rest of us unless one specific rule was set for only one of us.

Checks and balances means “power should be a check to power” so if I were to interpret this into my family this is how it would go. So let’s use my mom and me as an example. My mom adds a couple of restrictions for me and my phone, she says that I should only have screen time on my phone for 2 hours. So every now and then she checks my phone to make sure that I didn’t go above that screen time.

Separation of powers means that like different people have different jobs. So if I just used the house I live in then it would probably go like this. So each part in the house has a different job like the stove is used to cook things and it gives off heat, the doors are used to prevent things from coming inside and to secure the house, the alarm is used to let us know for intruders or to protect us, and so on so forth. But if I were to put this as my family then this is how it would go. So my moms job would be to do some of the household work and do her work, my job is to help her with some household work and do good in school, my sister job is to be a monkey because she is 6 and is a monkey, my dad's job is to do his work and maybe do the bill. So everything in my family/house has different jobs

Federalism means a system of government where the national and state governments share powers. So to plug this in to my family problem then this is how it would probably look like. So let’s say that my parents are the national government and my sister and I are the state government. Well, according to what Federalism means that both the national and state government share powers this means that both my parents, me and my sister share powers which brings us together. So for example, if we received the power off paying each other to do something, well even though my parents are in a higher position since I am considering them as the national government then we would still receive the same amount of money. So as an instance I asked my sister to get me something and told her that I would pay her 5 dollars if she got it for me, well if I asked my parents the same thing then it doesn’t mean that since they are the national government they get more money, no I will still pay them 5 dollars to get it for me.

Republicanism pretty much just means that people can show their power or exercise it by voting for political representatives. So if I were to replace the real meaning of republicanism and replace it with my own then this is probably how it would go. So let’s say that it’s Friday night and my family and I were trying to decide on what kind of food we wanted to eat. Let’s suppose that I wanted thai food, but I didn’t quite know what the rest of my family wanted, but I knew that they wanted different things than I wanted. So since we can’t decide and are disagreeing on what we want to eat then we just vote by using our power to vote. I get four pieces of paper, and everyone will write down what they want to eat. Let’s just suppose that I wrote down thai food, my mom wrote down thai food, my sister wrote down mexican food, and my dad wrote down indian food. Well none of us know what the other person picked until we count the votes. Once I opened up all the votes and noticed that thai food got 2 votes so thai food wins and we get thai food that night as dinner.

Popular sovereignty means that the people have the power. So if I were to connect that with my family and I then it would probably go like this. My parents take care of the household and work so then if we looked at my parents as like the 2 presidents of the house then me and my sister would be the people, and we have the power to do what we want. Unless it counts against my parents wishes. As an example if my parents said that we are going on vacation to this specific place then my sister and I have the power to refuse and say “ no we don’t want to go”. I mean come on this is just an example if it was a real vacation then I would already be in the car. Moving on, as you can see that my sister and I also have the power.
