Who's+in+charge+on+Planet+Hoff?

Have the students read pages 62 & 63 of 'This is Citizenship 1' about the government on Planet Hoff. Hoff's political system is an autocracy. The Sesar is all-powerful and, although there are ministers, the Sesar can overrule them. The system identifies some of the key features of autocrcies or dictattorships, especially the use of secret police. You could also draw parallels with Soviet Russia and Nazi Germany.

The students should complete the activity on page 63.
