This is a graphic organizer that is intended to be used with my Characteristics of Democracy PowerPoint presentation. The PowerPoint explains the concepts of the US Constitution, popular sovereignty, Congress, the President, the Supreme Court, Checks and Balances, Separation of Powers, and the 3 branches of government. The PowerPoint relates each one of these concepts to parts of a McDonald's restaurant, in order to make them relevant to students and to model the activity for them. This product
