Assignment 3.3 helped me realize and learn that our government was formed to bring equality to the people and equally separate powers among the government. I chose assignment 3.3 because it supports my claim that the six principles explain how our government was formed. ]]> 2017-05-24 19:30:22 UTC https://padlet.com/pinksungurl/bgjhilb3vfmf/wish/173706208 pinksungurl https://padlet.com/pinksungurl/bgjhilb3vfmf/wish/173707134 Understanding our rights and responsibilities is important in living our lives in America. We live in a free country where our rights are protected. In assignment 5.1, I explained that the most important right guaranteed to a citizen is the right to freedom, speech, and religion. The most important responsibility we have as citizens is to respect others and obey the rules and laws. I chose this assignment because it explained how valuable our rights and responsibilities are. ]]> 2017-05-24 19:37:24 UTC https://padlet.com/pinksungurl/bgjhilb3vfmf/wish/173707134 pinksungurl https://padlet.com/pinksungurl/bgjhilb3vfmf/wish/173708231 Our country was founded by the Europeans who colonized and expanded. Americans were tired of being under their control so they believed to take a stand and take America as their own. I believe this is an important concept relating to civics because it helps us understand who Americans are and how we came to be. Assignment 5.12 perfectly supports the ideas of formation of America and the relation to politics. I chose this assignment because it gave lots of information on how America became the land and the free. ]]> 2017-05-24 19:44:13 UTC https://padlet.com/pinksungurl/bgjhilb3vfmf/wish/173708231 pinksungurl https://padlet.com/pinksungurl/bgjhilb3vfmf/wish/173709004 Civics is studying the rights and duties of citizenship. Understanding a citizen's rights and responsibilities, understanding the six principles of the government, and understanding the origin of politics help me to understand what civics really is. As a participant in democracy, I believe it is important to learn the backgrounds and history of the government. Through civics, we better America and better our people. ]]> 2017-05-24 19:50:13 UTC https://padlet.com/pinksungurl/bgjhilb3vfmf/wish/173709004
