To those of you finishing your governments chart for homework over the weekend...

If I can find more useful links over the weekend, I will post them. You should be able to find more than enough information from the places I have listed below though. If you have any questions, you can leave them as comments on this post, and I will respond. Also, don't forget to identify one corresponding country for each of the eight types of government in your chart. Good Luck!
