Structure of Government

The constitution is the plan of the U.S.A

government to get the authority, or power,
from the people. By voting, people give
government leaders the authority to make
decisions and take acction for them.
 Levels of Government

There are three levels of government, and each one of them must
obey to the constitution.
1. Local government: These rules are over just one community, such
as city or town.
2. State government: Rule each one of the 50 states.
3. National government: Also called federal government, it makes
laws for the whole nation.
Each one of this level provides government services, which is a work
that the government does for the people in its area

1. Written and Oral traditions: People can share their culture through
literature, which includes the stories and poems that people use to share
their ideas. These ideas can also be shared through a myth which is a story
made up to explain the world around us. And at last we can see the fable
which is a story in which animals speak and act like humans.
In a oral way we have folktales and legends. Folktales are stories passed
from one generation to the next and legends are a made up story about
a real person or event.

And Architecture which is the art of designing buildings.

3. Religion: The last way to express our culture is

through religion. There are different religions in
the world, and they normally worship a specific
god. We dont see Christianity as a religion but
as a way of life believing in what Jesus christ
did on the cross.
The only true lies in Jesus Chirst, we just
see the other symbols as facts
