Comparative Civil Governance & Laws

Global Citizenship & Humanities

Your child notices that different countries utilize distinct models of governance (monarchies, democracies, republics) and can compare how different modern communities establish public legal systems.

In real life

After seeing both a monarch and a prime minister in the news, your child asks which one makes the rules and compares the answer with how leaders are chosen at home.
