Imagine a group of people who all get to say what happens in their city, that’s like democracy! It started in ancient Greece, where people gathered and voted on laws. Today, we still use this idea because it lets everyone have a voice, just like those old Greeks did.
Examples
- In ancient Greece, people gathered to vote on laws like whether to go to war.
- Today, when you vote for your favorite president, it's a bit like that old Greek idea of democracy.
- Democracy is still important because it lets everyone have a say in how things are run.
