Page history last edited by Pam Merrill 3 years, 10 months ago

Oklahoma Academic Standard 4. The student will analyze the formation of constitutional government in Oklahoma.

Objectives: 

4.6   Describe the division, function, and sharing of powers among levels of government including city, county, state and tribal.

4.7  Identify major sources of local and state revenues and the services provided including education, health and human services, transportation, courts, corrections, and public safety. 

In a Nutshell

Students should examine the relationship of local and state governments, including the unique relationship of tribal governments to the state and national authorities. Students should also develop an understanding of the services provided by all levels of government and the sources of funding such services. 

Teacher Action 

Student Action 

  • Provide opportunities for students to engage in a range of deliberative and democratic processes to address real-world problems related to the functioning of the levels of government. 

  • Assist students to develop, investigate and evaluate plausible answers to essential questions that reflect enduring understandings across time, such as “Why and how should government be limited?” 

  • Demonstrate understanding of content through the development of self-driven investigations and the completion of multi-staged authentic tasks related to contemporary issues of funding and public services,

  • Analyze complex and interacting factors that influence multiple perspectives related to shared powers and tribal sovereignty. 

Key Concepts 

Misconceptions 

  • inherent, tribal sovereignty, self-government, tribal governments' nation-to-nation status with the United States federal government, federally-recognized tribe status

  • examples of tribal constitutions and structures of tribal governments

  • express powers of the national government, reserved powers for the states, concurrent powers of both national and state government, powers denied to the state by the U.S. Constitution 

  • state reserved powers, including zoning laws, state criminal laws, professional licensing,and environmental protection  

  • role of Oklahoma County Commissioners

  • jurisdictions of Oklahoma Sheriff Department, state troopers, and local law enforcement officers

  • taxation, income tax, sales tax, property tax

  • public services, including law enforcement, education, corrections, transportation, and social services

  • budget, balanced budget, appropriations 

  • Students should possess an understanding of the concept of shared powers among levels of government, known as "federalism" yet lack in-depth understandings regarding the shared powers among state, county, and local officials in Oklahoma.

  • Some students may not realize that Oklahoma's many tribal governments are sovereign and possess a nation-to-nation status with the United States government; however, tribal authorities often work hand in hand with the state government toward common goals.

  • Most students will have limited exposure to types of revenue for state and local services nor of the budget process to determine which services are funded and how.
