Based on Chapter 1

As we consider the underpinnings of US law, it is important to have a sense of other approaches that have been, and are being used around the world.  An example used in the text is Burma.

1.   Consider Burma (named Myanmar by its military rulers). What political rights do you have that the average Burmese citizen does not? Compare the two.

2.   Why do you suppose such differences evolve?

3.   What is a nongovernment organization, and what does it have to do with government? Name one NGO and include what kind of rights do they espouse, what kind of laws do they support, and what kind of laws do they oppose?  Why?

4.   How are these differences (between the governments in Question 1) reconciled?
