Once you have completed watching the assignment “How to Become a Tyrant,” you will begin writing your term paper. The paper will be due at the end of the semester. (December 7, 2022)
Outline:
1. Summarize the chapters. Identify similarities between all the subjects. What tactics did each tyrant use that the others also incorporated into their objectives
2. Can something like this happen in the United States? Can powerful politicians in this country adapt to the same tactics as those who were identified in the documentary?
3. How does our constitution prevent something like this from occurring in our democracy (or can it?)
4. What are the protections our constitution must prevent a takeover of our country by a powerful leader?
5. If a powerful leader in this country wants to become a tyrant, what must they do to succeed in this effort? How would they attempt to overcome the constitutional protections of these obstacles?
