Examples of complex and simple governments, notes on diagrams of a free constitutional government and a totalitarian government, and techniques for introducing difficult concepts are presented. A story for discussion initiation and suggestions for discussion questions are followed by a statement of the meaning and conditions of freedom and related questions for discussion.
