    Directions: While the Ancient Greeks are praised over their creation and use of various governments, not all of these systems are perfect or without
    flaws. You and your group will create your own government to meet the needs of the people. When creating the government, use the following
    questions to guide your formation of it.

    What is the name of your government?

    What are the characteristics of your Government?

    What are the major rules you will have in your society?

    What is more important: People’s rights or having a strong


    country?

    What government (s) are you modeling your government after?


    Why did you choose those governments?

    Would your government actually work?
