Imagine your school has two kinds of leaders: one is a teacher who decides everything, and the other is a group of students who vote on what happens. In some countries, there's a king or queen who leads like that teacher, they're called monarchs. Other countries let people vote for their leaders, like a class council, those are more democratic.
Examples
- A king rules a country like a teacher leads a classroom
- The queen of England has been on the throne for decades
