n the United States, the people choose their representatives when they vote on Election Day. The representatives make the laws. That way, the U.S. government comes from the people. The people are not “ruled” by their leaders. This system is known as a democracy.

Buzzzzz. Wrong. This system is called a REPUBLIC. But thanks for playing.
