Instructions

Play through this interactive game to learn about Democratic Principles. Suitable for Grade 5, Grade 6, Grade 7, Grade 8.

Main Concepts

Majority rule is balanced by the protection of minority rights so that democratic decisions do not override fundamental individual freedoms.

Due process of law requires that government follow fair and consistent legal procedures before depriving a person of life, liberty, or property.

Checks and balances ensure that each branch of government can limit the power of the other branches, reinforcing the principle of limited government.

Separation of powers helps prevent tyranny by ensuring that no single person or branch controls all government authority.

Individual rights are fundamental freedoms that government is expected to respect and protect.

Separation of powers divides government authority among different institutions to prevent the concentration of power.

Rule of law promotes fairness, accountability, and predictability in public life, and it applies equally to all people, including government officials and leaders.

Limited government means that government power is restricted and cannot be exercised without legal or constitutional limits.

Popular sovereignty means that the authority and legitimacy of government come from the people.

Democratic government is grounded in core principles that shape how power is organized, limited, and exercised.
