Government Project Outline Due, MONDAY FEBRUARY 3

Government Project 1
Governments vary all around the world. Whether it is a democracy or a dictatorship, every citizen in the country is impacted by their government in one way or another. Where a person lives will decide what kind of business they may own or job they may have, what public welfare (if any) they receive, and what opportunities are available.
Your assignment is to select a country and research its government. You must include what type of government, the population, and how the government influences the population’s rights within your chosen country. You need to discuss the culture (daily life norms), religion, and TWO unique cultural aspects that you will find ONLY in your chosen country. You also need to give a BRIEF history of the country’s government and how it was formed.  You will need a MINIMUM of SEVEN slides.
Checklist of what you need:
Name of Country:                                                      
Type of Government (Democracy, Dictatorship, Constitutional Monarchy):
