Imagine your school has a big decision to make, like what snack to have at lunch. If there are only 10 kids, maybe each one gets a vote. But if there are 300 kids, you might need fewer people to decide for the whole group, that’s like how some countries work with fewer representatives in parliament.
Examples
- A class with only 10 students might have everyone vote directly on lunch choices.
- A school with 300 students might choose 20 representatives to make snack decisions for all.
- If a whole country has 10 million people, they might need 600 MPs.
