Imagine a group of friends deciding who should be in charge. Sometimes only one person is chosen, like the leader of a team. But sometimes two people are picked to share the job, it depends on how the rules are made. Countries have different numbers of presidents because their rules for leadership vary.
Examples
- A classroom has one leader, but sometimes two people share the job to help run things better.
- In some games, only one person can be king, while in others, two people take turns ruling.
- Some countries have a single president who makes most of the big decisions.
