Political Decision-making

 Hello readers! 

This week in hurumanu one, we have been learning about Political Decision making, i also learnt about similarities-

How we select our Government in a General Election

 There are two votes, one for Party and one for a leader.

How often are our General Elections?

Three years.

What are the steps Parliament follows to pass a new law?

There are several stages that a bill passes before becoming an Act of Parliament. These stages ensure that a bill is subject to public debate and scrutiny. Some of these stages also provide an opportunity for a bill to be changed: Introduction, First reading, Select committee, Second reading, Committee of the whole House, Third reading and Royal assent.

How do the steps we used to create our Class Treaty compare with the steps in passing a new law?

In our class treaty we:

• We went into groups and spread the workload. (The same as Parliament )

• Other people checked our work and made changes. (This is like a second reading of a Bill.)

• We then put our treaty into a formal format. (Parliamentary Services does do this)

• We checked it out as a whole class. (This is like the same as the final reading in Parliament)

• We all signed the Treaty. (This is the same as Royal Assent (signed by the Governor-General)

thank you, bye!
