NZ Government Compare and Contrast Paragraph

Today in Power to the People Hurumanu, we learnt about the Maori authority System and the British Settler Government.

This Compare and Contrast is about two systems

Introduce your idea: In NZ there were two types of Governments. One was the Maori authority System, the other British Settler Government.

The Maori authority system was not useful since there was no judges, police or prisons so criminals were only punished by another family which is flawed in some way. Tapu's could be flawed since it would be up to the leaders of the region or anyone in power to punish.

Whereas the British Settler Government system is more built up to be successful since there's a law to control society and if the laws were broken there was set punishments depending on the amount of damage caused.

This matters because it shines a light on the differences between Maori and British and the history of NZ governments.
