Imagine a king who rules everything. In some countries, one person, like a king or president, makes all the big decisions for everyone else. They can change laws, choose new leaders, and even control how much money people earn. It's like being the boss of your whole school, you get to pick who gets in trouble or gets extra candy.
Examples
- The president chooses who becomes the new teacher at school.
- A dictator says no one can read a newspaper without his permission.
