Imagine you're playing a game with your friends, sometimes one person is in charge, and other times the group decides who leads. In some countries, like the United States, there's one big leader called a president. In others, like the UK, the prime minister works more closely with the group of people who make the rules (parliament). It’s all about how decisions are made and who has the most power.
Examples
- In some countries, the prime minister is just one person who leads the party that has most votes.
