IB 30/35

We did a brief review of the American and Canadian political systems. On the Diploma Exam multiple choice test they tend to ask questions about both systems and similarities and differences between them. Make sure that you review all of the notes and PowerPoint presentations in Unit 3 on the wiki. The only really new concept that we'll be exploring this week is illiberalism, please remember to apply this to restrictions of the political principles of liberalism, namely restrictions on individual rights and freedoms, and rule of law. Don't apply the term illiberalism to economic concepts. You have a test this Thursday on Political Systems, please see the study guide here (scroll down to find it). Also, you will be given some quizzes (multiple choice quizzes) to help prep you for the Diploma Exam this week, so be ready at any time.
