Republicanism- Republican form of government

Popular Sovereignty- States that the government belongs to the people

Ages 6-13

This is Bing. He is a 7th grade student that is in the student council. He is magnanimous yet he has encountered an issue he cannot solve.

The unilateral council is ruled by one ambassador that is an intractable misanthropist. His name is Bug. He does not approve of anyone's brilliant prototypes to improve the school.

I want everyone including me to be able to share their ideas.

Bing wants all of his peers including him to be able to share their ideas so that they can improve the school's environment.

Bing told his parents about his intransigent issue and his parents simply told him that the council should work as a republic form of government where people elect leaders and hold elections.

The next day, he shared his idea his parents gave him to all the members of the student council and they loved his idea.

Great idea! Now we need to immediately depose Bug to restore the balance of the Student Council.

Later that day, some of the Student Council members went with Bing to depose Bug of his diatribe and superfluous leader skills.

I will not accept the outrageous offer. Why would I give you all of my power. There is a reason I am student ambassador. Popular Sovereignty and Republicanism will not be offered.

Let's allow the people of the Council decide on this shall we?

Fine, but if they agree with me you will be kicked out of the Council effective after the decision.

And, they let the people of the Council decide on whether to keep the club a dictatorship, Bug's idea, or change it to a Republic, Bing's idea.
