One group sells for double the price since it must charge a tariff. One group of students is "set up" to have to buy the more expensive product.

This original Readers' Theater script assumes you have already pre-taught the basic ideas of Locke an Hobbes, and how their ideas influenced Thomas Jefferson.

I would think high school students would also enjoy this activity. I used the iCivics website (from Sandra Day O'Connor) to help with my preceding lessons, and then
