Imagine a town where everyone gets to vote on what happens. That’s like democracy! It started in ancient Greece, where people gathered to make decisions together. They called it democracy, which means 'rule by the people.' Simple ideas can lead to big changes.
Examples
- A group of kids voting together on which game to play at recess.
- All families in a village meeting to decide where to build the next school.
