This biography on Charles de Montesquieu focuses on his book Spirit of the Laws and his influence on American government. Montesquieu claimed that government should be divided into three branches: legislative, executive, and judicial. These branches should be granted separate powers and, rather importantly, should be given the authority to oversee the other branches. The biography includes a series of questions based on the reading. In using this in my own class room, students are encouraged to: 1. Number the paragraphs 2. Read the biography 3. Highlight answers in the reading 4. Use complete sentences 5. Identify the paragraph where they find the answer. The answer key demonstrates these steps. Academic and content vocabulary words and definitions are included. For those seeking distance learning options, the biography can be readily converted to a digital activity using Google Slides. You might also consider a mini-unit I have uploaded on Theories of Government. This unit includes a PowerPoint and graphic organizer, biographies on the philosophers discussed (with the exception of Jean-Jacques Rousseau), and two types of assessments. Finally, you can purchase the biography as part of a general series I have posted on TpT: Biographies in American History OR Biographies in World History. Your feedback regarding this product is always appreciated. And feel free to browse my store for other products related to US History, World History, and Government.

Book Synopsis In his book, Another Big Lie, author Tim Pagliara details the decade-long fight over the government's role in regulating a safe and sound mortgage market. At the heart of the story is the contrarian bet investors made to buy Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac--government sponsored entities, GSEs--securities in the heat of the mortgage crisis in late 2008. This is the story of how a select group of GSE investors exposed the government's theft of billions of dollars from the American dream of homeownership. Madison opined in the Federalist papers that "If Men were Angels" we wouldn't need government. And yet, in Another Big Lie, Pagliara examines what happens when all three branches of government--executive, legislative, and judicial--fail, exposing the truth about the housing market, a corrupt legislative process in the Senate, and the various attempts that tried and failed to blame the financial crisis on the GSEs. From the Back Cover THE AMERICAN DREAM HAS A ROOF In Another Big Lie, author Tim Pagliara details the decade-long fight over the government's role in regulating a safe and sound mortgage market, and how a select group of investors in government-sponsored entities exposed the government's theft of billions of dollars from the American dream of homeownership. This was the largest and most brazen expropriation of private property in the nation's history.-David Thompson, Managing Partner, Cooper & Kirk This isn't just a story about what happened a decade ago. It's a story about what's happening today and what's going to happen twenty years from now. The villains of this story are the big banks and their cronies inside the government, the media, and the intelligentsia who behaved as if the bankers could do no wrong. But this iron truth endures: Even the most well-intentioned bureaucrats, no less than presidents, legislators, and judges, are bound by constitutional principles. -Patrick J. Collins, Marcus J. Liotta, William M. Hitchcock v. Steven T. Mnuchin, Secretary, US Department of Treasury; Department of the Treasury; Federal Housing Finance Agency; Mark A. Calabria, Director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency (S.D. Tex., 2019) This is the story of how individual Americans stepped up, took on the system--and won.
