January 14

HW: Find any article that talks about a foreign country’s government (i.e., Thailand and its government problems,
In your sourcebook, write a brief summary (1 paragraph) on what is going on. What kind of government do they have? (You might have to do a bit of internet researchy to find out).

(example – an article on passing a law to ban car horn honking in Great Britain
Great Britain has a constitutional monarchy meaning that they have a queen (monarchy) but Parliament is the one who makes the laws in government. Currently, Parliament has been faced with complaints that noise pollution has increased throughout the nation… )
