In this unit, you learned about the development of the U. S. government, including the basic ideals on which the nation was founded. What are some of the foundational ideals on which our government was based? How are these ideas reflected in our Constitution? Finally, how do you see these ideas reflected in the nation today? Do you think our modern government lives up to the democratic ideas supported by the Founders? Be sure to use specific facts and examples from the course to support your answer.

1. The US government is based on ideas of limited government, including natural rights, popular sovereignty, republicanism, and social contract. Limited government is the belief that the government should have certain restrictions in order to protect the individual rights and civil liberties of citizens.

2.  The Constitution diluted power even more by creating a federal form of government. In this way power and authority would be shared between central, state and local governments.

3.  I see these ideas reflected in the nation today because they still are applied to the constitution.

4. Yes I do think that the government lives up to the democratic ideas supported by the founders because democracy is still in the U.S to this day.

Hope this helps
