things you do not know.
Students will be explained that we as citizens of heaven we as well have
rights and duties in a spiritual government which is heaven. The greatest
right that Jesus has provided us has been the fact that now we can
actually have a direct relationship with God, and talk to him, call him, ask
him and He eventually will answer.

SOME BASIC RIGHTS
Freedom of speech is one of our basic rights. It allows citizens to
speak in public about their ideas and beliefs.
Another right is the freedom to gather peacefully in a group, this is
called freedom of assembly. People who share the same opinion can
assemble, or get together.
Then we have the freedom of the press that allows people to write,
read, and watch what they want, freedom of communication and
expression through mediums.
And all citizens are free to practice any religion, too. This is called
freedom of religion.
Some
Basic
Rights
CITIZENS MAKE CHOICES
One the most important rights citizens have in Colombia and USA is
that we have the right to vote. This is the right to choose our own
president. To vote we must be at least 18 years old

By voting in an election, citizens help to elect, or choose, their

governments leaders. When citizens go vote they are going to see a
ballot, which is a list of all the posible choices in an election.
MAJORITY RULE AND MINORITY
RIGHTS
At the end of every elections we hae the results. The results are going to demostrate
if some one loose of wins. The candidate that wins, wins for the majority rule. It is
when more tan half of the voters voted in the same way, so the become majority.

The vorters who did not vote for the winner are the minority. But their rules need to
e respected as well, and this idea is called the minority rights
