Students must decide which laws be followed and how many freedoms be allowed in a new society they create. This lesson works well for students of most levels - except beginners - as the subject brings out many opinions.

Students engage in a lesson which honors the Latino community as part of Thirteen/WNET's annual celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month. They utilize worksheets and access websites imbedded in this plan which guide their learning.
