Imagine you're in a school. If you have a teacher who helps the class run smoothly, that’s like a prime minister. But if there's also a principal, who makes big decisions and leads from the top, that’s more like a president. Some countries are led by one person (a president), while others are led by someone chosen by the people in power (a prime minister). It all depends on how the country is set up.
Examples
- A school with a teacher who works closely with students is like a country led by a prime minister.
- A school where the principal makes big decisions without asking the students is like a country led by a president.
