They will also define 9 vocabulary terms and either summarize segments of the text or identify main points. The answers are included where appropriate and this would be great for a sub! 

Sample questions include:
--Explain what set the judicial branch apart from the other two.

--In what way(s) was the government controlled by its dependence on the people?
