Government
Countries are populated by a lot of people (also known as citizens), and all of those people interact on a daily basis in the society of their country. Because of this countries need to have sets of rules and policies that help organize one way their society should run. These standards ar carried out by a country's government. A GOVERNMENT of a country conrtols the way a place is organized and created laws that citizens are required to follow.
There are several types of governments in our world. Such as...
Communist
"Communism is a form of government where most of the things in society are owned by the public or the state, and wealth is divided among citizens equally." |
Democratic
"A democracy is a form of government in which the people, either directly or indirectly, take part in governing" |
Parliamentary
"A system of government in which the power to make and execute laws is held by a parliament." |
Governments control many aspects of a country, such as it's economy, resources, trade, and currency. Let's learn a little more about each of these characteristics of a country!
