Community Government Introduction. A community is a place where people live, work, and play. A community can be large, like a city, or small, like a town or village. People run their community with a government. The people in the government are part of the community. City Government Leaders. The mayor is the leader of the community. If someone wants to be mayor, he or she runs in an election. When people vote, they make a choice. People vote for a mayor in an election every two or four years. People vote for the person they think will be the best mayor. The person with the most votes becomes mayor. The mayor is in charge of many departments, such as the police department and the fire department. The mayor is usually in charge of the town or city council. The council decides how money is spent in the community. It might spend money to build or fix roads, buildings, and parks. It has meetings for people to talk about ideas for the community. Laws in a Community. The mayor and council also work together to make laws. Laws are important. A community needs laws to keeр people safe and keep the community clean. Some laws say how fast cars can go on the roads. Other laws say people must not throw their trash on the ground. Police officers make sure people follow the laws. They also help people who are in trouble. When people break the laws, they may go to court. In court, a judge or a jury decides whether someone broke the law. A judge is the head of the court. A jury is a group of people from the community. The jury listens to both sides and decides whether someone broke the law. Sometimes there is no jury, and the judge decides. If the judge or jury decides that someone broke the law, the judge decides the punishment. Other Jobs in the Community Other people in the government also help the community. Firefighters put out fires and help people get away from fires. Emergency workers help people who are sick or hurt. They may take people to a hospital. Conclusion. The community government is important. It makes a difference in the lives of people every day. The government gives people in a community a good and safe place to live. People can make a difference in their government, too. They can run in an election. They can vote. They can speak at community meetings. They can also offer to help in parks and other places. What can you do to make a difference?
Quiz questions for The biggest challenge for the Central Pacific was finding workers. In 1863, when the Central Pacific started on the transcontinental railroad, California was still a new state. There were few available laborers. As a result, the Central Pacific did not get very far in its first year. Though the Union Pacific did not start construction until late 1863, it was soon laying more track than the Central Pacific. The Central Pacific needed to find a new source of workers. One of the Central Pacific’s owners suggested hiring Chinese immigrants. Thousands of Chinese immigrants were already living and working in California. Most had made the dangerous journey to California during the gold rush of the 1850s. In the years that followed, they became known as hard workers and skilled miners. However, many left the mines because of the discrimination they faced there. By 1864, the Central Pacific began recruiting workers from the Chinese community. Within a year, the Central Pacific had hired several thousand Chinese immigrants. Thousands more Chinese immigrants joined each year. Soon they made up the largest part of this work force. By the time the transcontinental railroad was complete, about 90 percent of the Central Pacific’s workers were Chinese immigrants.
