Leadership and Government

Hi, this term in Social Studies we have been learning about Leadership And Government. In this process we have learned about Local Government, Democracy, and just government in general. 

Government

Government is something that was created so there would be several people that can control the country instead of one person making all of the big decisions, for example, the United States Of America. Instead of having a prime minister, like we do, the United States has a president, which he or she has full control over the US. 

Our government gets to make the laws, so if they were thinking about bringing in a new law they need majority votes in the party for it to be brought in.

Local Government

Local Government is a small kind of government that helps and improves little towns or cities. So instead of running the whole country the Local Government takes control over smaller communities. How it works is, every two years us as individuals get to vote for someone that we think would be good in the position of mayor. Then for the next two years that lucky person gets to lead everyone in local government and he/she gets to make decisions that benefit you, me, and our land.
