Assignment: A privately owned island off the coast of Florida has been left to you by the eccentric owner who recently died. The island is large enough for several small communities to be developed. Make up a name for the island. Start on the right foot by establishing a local government, a judicial system, law enforcement system, and other services typically provided by local and state governments. When setting up a local government, please limit the selection to those styles found in the United States, and avoid dictator, monarchy, or communist systems.

For the Unit VII Project, describe the following points:

• the type of local government you would establish (e.g., county, city);
• the form of that government (e.g., township, municipal charter);
• the management system (e.g., commission, mayor, council);
• how leadership positions would be instated (e.g., appointment, election);
• the type of law enforcement and judicial system (how judges are selected) you would put into place; and
• other services typically provided for by local and state governments. Be sure to explain the role of bureaucracies in these services, including how taxes support these services and how those taxes will be collected.
• Mix and match the government, judicial, and law enforcement decisions, but it must fully explain the reasons why chosen these types of systems. Also address how the government would work with other governments/agencies and in what ways. Pull concepts from previous readings in this course (not just those assigned in this unit) in order to develop this project.
