Long ago, in a place called Ancient Greece, people had something cool, they could vote for their leaders! It was like having a big group of friends picking who would be the class president. This idea is what we now call democracy. Today, when you raise your hand in school or click a button on an app to vote, you're doing something that started with the Greeks!
Examples
- Your parents go to the polling station every few years, that’s similar to how the Greeks made decisions together.
- You and your friends choose who will be the leader of a game, this is direct democracy in action!
