Two forms of government
Select two forms of government that you are interested in learning more about. Choose one from each column:
| Republic | Consensus |

| Autocracy | Constitutional Monarchy |
Formulate five questions you would like to explore about these types of governments. For example:
- How is the leader chosen?
- How is this government different from the one in my country?
Using at least three reliable sources, do research to find information about each form of government, including an example of a country in which it is used.
Record the information required for each type of source. If not all of the required information is available, don’t worry – just fill in the information that is available.
Using the criteria from Learning Activity 1.1, show that your sources are valid and accurate.
