This video is accompanied by text. "Democracy largely had its origins in Great Britain, where people grew tired of life under monarchical rule. Although not all monarchs were tyrants, many of them were greedy and ruthless, taxing their people heavily... and punishing them harshly, sometimes without cause. Not surprisingly, the people longed for more control over their lives. At Runnymede, England, in 1215, after years of exorbitant taxation and bloody foreign wars, English barons took a stand against King John. They drew up the Magna Carta, which outlined restrictions on the king's power and granted certain rights to the barons. For example, it provided that the king could not jail or execute people without due process, and he could not arbitrarily seize their money or property..." (Video is well-produced and very informative.)

A good video that explains how the Roman government worked. A wordwall is needed as there is a lot of words that need to be explained in more detail. This video is fast moving and an excellent outline of events.

A 19 minute video that is meant to explain the various types of governments and how to recognize them. It is a long video and gives plenty of time to the subject matter and provides good examples. A word wall with the names of the major types of gove...rnments may be of help. Also recommended as a compare and contrast review to help students better understand what the differences are and what they have in common.

Former MP Benn gives a description of Democracy as it exists, how it was
gained, and describes efforts to take it away and to get it back.
(While from a British point of view, it can easily be applied to
American democracy.)
