Imagine a classroom where the kids decide how they want to run things. Sometimes one kid takes charge, like a teacher, and everyone follows them. Other times, the whole class votes on what to do, like in a democracy. This is similar to how governments change, sometimes a few people rule, other times many people share power.
Examples
- A classroom where everyone shares ideas and votes on what happens next is like a democracy.
- A ruler gives up power when many people become unhappy with how he governs.
