The Purpose of Government - Exploring Rules, Laws, and Leadership

In this social studies lesson for upper elementary, students will explore the role of government and why it is important in a community. With the help of a political scientist, they will learn how governments make and enforce laws, make decisions for the people, and represent communities at local and global levels. By the end of the lesson, students will understand the responsibilities of government and recognize its impact on their daily lives. This lesson is from Miacademy’s Exploring Social Studies course.
