Imagine you and your friends are deciding who gets to be the leader of a game. That’s kind of like what happened in ancient Athens, where people voted on important decisions. Democracy means people power, it began with simple votes and lots of people getting to speak up.
Examples
- A group of kids voting on which game to play at recess.
- Everyone in class getting to choose their favorite subject for the week.
- A family deciding where to go on vacation by everyone voting.
