Politics is the process by which people decide how to live together – whether it is a family, a school, or a nation. Government is the system used to make the decisions. There are many different systems of government – ranging from autocracy to democracy. In a democracy everyone has the right to an equal say, and decisions are made through discussion and voting. In school, young people reflect on different systems of government and how decisions are made in their school and society. They learn about the practice of democratic politics through participation in class and student council elections.
