People form governments so everyone can live together without fighting all the time. Imagine if you and your friends wanted to play a game, but no one agrees on the rules, it gets messy! A government is like a group of friends who decide the rules so everyone plays nicely.
Examples
- A group of kids chooses a class leader to decide who gets the most toys.
- People agree on rules so that no one can steal from them all the time.
- A family creates a rule about bedtime to avoid fighting each night.
