1. What is the difference between “Nationalism” and “Patriotism”?

The difference between patriotism and nationalism is simple - a patriot loves

his country and is proud of it for what it does whereas a nationalist loves his
country and is proud of his country NO MATTER WHAT IT DOES.

2. Differentiate the three branches of the National Government.

Legislative—Makes laws (Congress, comprised of the House of

Representatives and Senate) Executive—Carries out laws (president, vice
president, Cabinet, most federal agencies) Judicial—Evaluates laws
(Supreme Court and other courts)

3. Define “Centralized form of Government”.

A centralized government hands over supreme political authority to a central

body or small group of individuals, which is responsible for ensuring the
proper function of the economy and all other governing bodies.
4. What is the connection of the National Government to Local

Government?

There always must be an adequate sharing of governing functions between

the local and central governments. Today, however, the national
government tends to manage even matters of local concern
as national matters by delegating authority to the heads of
the local communities through laws and government ordinances.

5. Why it is said that only men are prioritized to have access to education

during the Spanish colonization?
