Democracy is a system of government where people choose their leaders through elections.
List two consequences of disloyalty
- Loss of trust
- Punishment or consequences for breaking rules
For example, the Executive arm of government is like the school principal who enforces rules, the Legislature arm is like our school council that makes new rules, and the Judiciary arm is like our teacher who interprets and explains the rules to us.
Knowing who our leaders are, like the governor of Lagos State and the president of Nigeria, helps us stay informed about our community and country. Monarchy is like having a king or queen as our leader, and democracy is when we get to choose our leaders through voting, like in our school elections.
