Imagine a kingdom where one person, like a king or queen, makes all the big decisions. That's a monarchy. In a democracy, people get to vote for their leaders, kind of like choosing who runs a classroom. Both have different rules and feel very different when you're living in them.
Examples
- A king decides what laws are in place for everyone, even if they don’t like them.
- In a democracy, people get to pick who will lead their country, it’s like choosing your class president.
- Sometimes, kings rule forever while people vote every few years.
