Governments can work in many ways:

They can be a democracy, like for example Colombia. In a democracy, people can choose anyone to rule the country, and the one that has more votes, gets elected and makes decisions for everyone. 🙌

They can be a dictatorship, for example a country like North Korea. There, you can’t travel outside the country, and basically the dictator chooses everything the people have to do, and people can’t disobey or elect someone different. They make every choice until they die, or when people start revolutions and demand a different type of government. 🙇

They can be a monarchy, or more like constitutional monarchies, like the United Kingdom and Sweden. These countries used to be monarchies, so the people that ruled them were from specific families, but they are not the rulers anymore. People choose their presidents or parliament, and the monarchs are still kings and queens, but they don’t create or enforce laws. 💂
