We had the republic government type: power is held by the people and their elected representatives.
Democracy because everyone can contribute.
Republic had the best tower because the officials that were elected were great. because they can vote on how to build the tower.
Only having 3 people able to collaborate and everyone else had to vote on actions
How the citizens vote on their representatives to do the things they want done.

1. Our government type was anarchy which is when there is no true government or leader.
2. I thought that the republic would do the best since they could choose someone to help lead and guide the team.
3. I think that democracy did well because theirs was very strong and simple which makes sense since everyone could help and state their ideas.
4. The biggest advantage was that we couldn't argue, the biggest disadvantage was that we couldn't speak and work together to say ideas.
5. This makes sense because in anarchy nobody really has control or a say in what is going on and there is no one to lead.

1. Our group had a theocracy
2. Reperentive democracy would succeed the most because that is the government America is currently in.
3. I would say Justin and Dawson's group because their tower had meaning behind it and the way it was made.
4. In our group and the government I belive would succeded and theory is they have a group lead or a group of leaders.
4. advangetes is that a certain groups is in charge of making the decions

We had a republic where only a certain amount of people work and the rest vote on representatives and laws.

Democracy because everyone works.

we had the best tower because it looked like a mess but it worked good in the end.

Advantage we had was that the people that were not working could contribute with voice but they couldn't contribute physically.

The citizens were able to have an input but sometimes the government didn't listen and did something else.

1. anarchy, a society without a government ¨no ruler¨
2. I think monarchy would be the best because there is only one ruler and not everyone is fighting over power
3. I think we did because without being able to talk and without someone in charge we had a really good sturdy tower
4. disadvantage would have to be that we couldn't talk at all and I think our biggest advantage was we were all able to work well together
5. the disadvantage would make it hard for the government to get anything done.

1. Theocracy
2.democracy because they can vote for the best person in their group
3.democracy they did well because they voted for the strongest candidate
4.Our biggest advantage was we didnt have to waste a whole bunch of time voting or none of that our disadvantage was we didnt have the best leaders or the leaders we wanted to have and maybe too many leaders so we might not all have the same opinion as a leader.
5. They relate because we didnt have to vote and we had multiple leaders but multiple leaders could be too many voices heard.

1. we were theocracy
2.i think that the a representative would be the best government.

1&2:We got anarchy and that is when there is a lack of government and i thought that a monarchy would do the best since it would just be ones thoughts and image of the building
3:Anarchy had the best tower in my opinion since it was structurally sound and was the best looking visual wise
4:we could not speak and communication was very hard but we all slowly added things one by one and it all came together in the end and the biggest advantage there was no disagreement since we all had a say
5: the disadvantage would make it hard for the lack of government to get anything done and you would get no protection provided and with the advantage the peoples say and thoughts would never get rejected since everyone has no power so they are all basically equal

2. direct democracy
3. ours, anarchy because it was the most structural and large
3. not being able to take was a great advantage and disadvantage during the building process

Emma Shattuck

ershattuck — 2023-02-03 18:42:37 UTC

1. My group had Anarchy, it's a type of government that is basically free will, there's no communication or rules.
2. I thought any of the governments who could talk to each other and figure out with communication on how to build the tower.
3. I think that anarchy did the best for not being able to communicate with one another.
4. The disadvantage was that we weren't able to talk to each other, therefore it was hard to figure out what to do and decide what to do.

Ava Adkins

2023-02-03 18:42:43 UTC

1. Anarchy, it is the lack of government.
2. I think democracy would do the best because it gives everyone a chance to participate in choosing leaders.
3. I think the anarchy tower was the best because it was the most stable and visually pleasing.
4. An advantage was the lack of arguments and disagreements. A disadvantage is that it was hard to communicate.
5. The disadvantage made progress difficult.

1) Monarchy - A form of government that that a reigning monarch as it's head. We had to listen to our monarch (who was the oldest of the group), as they gave instructions and the rest of us did the work.

2) Republic, since it's people (by definition) work together to decide on something everyone, or the majority, would be comfortable with.

3) The group of Anarchists made the best tower, they were strategized in their thinking and worked smarter.

4) The biggest advantage was that everyone's voices were heard, but not exactly listened to since it was the king/queens decision anyways.

5) These advantages and disadvantages related exactly to how the real government works; Input could be given by the people, but not exactly took into consideration and applied.

1) I had the theocracy government - A type of government in which priests rule in the name god or a god.
2)For this assignment I think a dictatorship would work best because things could get done faster.
3)The group that did the best was Anarchy - a group of people with no government. I think they did the best because they all worked together equally.
4)The biggest advantage was that we had 3 people making decisions. The biggest disadvantage was that we only had 3 people building
5) Are advantages and disadvantages didn't align with the theocracy government

4. Our biggest advantage was the ruling process is easy and fast since one person makes the decisions,
Our biggest disadvantage was that nobody had a say without permission from the leader

3. autocracy because theirs had the best structure

1. monarchy, a form of government when a king or queen rules.

3. anarchy had the best tower

4. our biggest disadvantage was the tape and how we couldn't get it to stick. no advantages.

Government

2023-02-03 18:45:19 UTC

1.Republic ran by the people
2.Democracy
3.Anarchy based on there government the reason i think they did well is because there wasn't as many people but if it was as big as a regular country it would fall
4.advantages was having 3 people be able to work on the structure and the disadvantage was not having everyone be able to work on the structure

Jaziel Garcia

1. I had a democratic government and this is one of the forms of government in which political power can be exercised by and for the people.
2. the democratic government
3.talvel the best era of the monarchy or the one of anarchy.
4. the advantages of our group is that we made a neat and firm tower and the disadvantage was perhaps how long it took to create our tower and the lack of support.
5. These advantages and disadvantages are related to the government that we were given because this happens in reality, democracy is a very good government, but it is not perfect and has errors.

Jack Pollock

1 dictatorship form of government in which one person or a small group possesses absolute power.

2 democracy because everyone can vote for what's best for the group.

3 democracy it was the most sturdy and balanced I believed they did well because they were able to decide together what the best choices are.

4 our biggest advantage is that the leader decided what we should do so we could quickly work on only that. our disadvantages were that not everyone could express what they think is best for the tower.

5 the disadvantages were that the people aren't able to express their opinion and only one person can decide what is best for all of the people.

Sam Saine

2023-02-03 18:46:09 UTC

1. Powers held by the people and they elect representitives

2. Republic it's more fair because the people have the choice, instead of someone taking charge by force or bloodline. It gives anyone a chance.

3. The Anarchy group because their tower was pretty sturdy but i couldn't tell what the motive was.

4. An advantage was we were the only class to have a explanation of our build and the disadvantage was some people wouldn't acknoweldge the back story and only the quality of our build.

5. The advantage was the history of our build which was democrats and republicans are in this system of government but could never come to a agreement. Our only disadvantage was peoples acknowledgement to out build but that doesn't relate at all.

1. Our government type was a dictatorship. This means a dictator or a group has full control with almost no limitations.

2. I think a representative democracy and theocracy would work the best for everyone. Everyone has a say and a set of rules to follow.

3. I think the Anarchy group did the best. Based on their government type, I think they did the best because of the freedom the citizens have.

4. The advantages we had was that everyone was putting things together to put together. A disadvantage was that we didn't have a specific blueprint to follow so we were just adding things onto each other.

5. These advantages and disadvantages relate because if a bad dictator has control, things will be put together horribly. Just following orders to make something without any clarity will lead to disorder

1: I had the government Monarchy

2: I think that the government ¨Direct Democracy¨ would have been the one that did the best because everyone would have a decision on what to build and how to build it, and it would be more ordered instead of having only 1 person do all the work

3: I think that Republic Democracy had the best tower overall because everyone did their own thing and they managed to build a big tower. Even though there wasn't really any order made to the building, they still managed to create a standing building

4: the biggest advantage our group faced was successfully making a good base for the building to stand. The biggest disadvantage was not getting our building built in time

5: I think these advantages relate to our democracy because only one person was allowed to make the decisions and choices in making the structure whether or not he or she agrees with it or not. So citizens have to go with the king/queen decision whether if it was their idea or not

1. We were a dictatorship, and that is a form of government where an individual or a small group possesses absolute power over a group without any limitations.

2. I believe a democracy would do the best because democratic governments have been seen to do well with some problems, but every government method has its flaws, right?

3. I believe Anarchy did the best, mainly because of the stability and overall craftsmanship. I found this ironic because the most stable and organized tower was created by the group with no government and order.

4. The biggest advantage we had was a leader telling us what to do, and gave us a lead on what to work on. I personally have always been a strong follower but a poor leader, and having a leader that wasn't me let me excel in the working process. The disadvantages we faced were mainly trying to decide whether or not we valued stability over height, but we overcame this issue and met a compromise, resulting in not the tallest tower, but it was certainly stable. A good middle ground if you ask me.

5. These advantages and disadvantages show that if everyone is able to follow the leader and work without any sort of hindrance, much can be done. But if nobody wants to follow, or the leader is a poor one, the whole thing can fall apart. Dictatorship relies on the strength and orders of the leader. If there is a weak leader, there is a weak group.

1. my group had monarchy. Being the queen in the monarchy made me have all power over my civilization, with that power i heard out the people and their ideas to make a structure.

2. I believe that republic would be the best type of government in our time.

3. i believe Anarchy did the best, it was beautiful and structured correctly in such little time... being its an anarchy...

4. the biggest advantage i believe we had was since we were all listening to each other we all met each others needs and were happy. a big disadvantage was that we had little time to actually create a structure that could be used for a kingdom...

5. an advantage for us is that while i was in charge of everything, we all worked together and i didnt abuse my power, a disadvantage is that...it literally fell...died.

1. We did Anarchy, Anarchy is a society without a government. It may also refer to a society or group that entirely rejects a set hierarchy.

2. I think democracy because everyone contributes and is a part of it.

3. Democracy, it wasn't overly complicated but had a stronghold and it connects because everyone has a say to state their ideas because of the simpleness

4.Everybody can say their opinion but not everybody could work.

5. Hard for government to get much done.

Bryan Armendariz-lopez

1. Oligarchy

2. Democracy

3. us (Oligarchy) I think we did very well we had a unique design unlike some people. We were very structurally strong and well
supported.

5. The biggest advantage was that we have a smaller group of leaders, our biggest disadvantage is also our biggest advantage because since we have a smaller group we cant run through the paper work to make decisions as fast.

4.they relate because due to the number of leaders and they cant make decisions as fast meaning that legal documents and stuff will take a lot longer.
