Why do people form governments?
to get rid of all rules to help keep people safe so that no one has to work
People form governments for two main reasons.
Governments come up with laws, or rules, for a community. Laws help keep people safe. For example, traffic laws make it safer to drive.
Laws can tell people how to work together and settle disagreements. How? Think about a team sport like soccer. The rules tell the players how to play together. For example, rules say which team should get the ball when it goes out of bounds. Laws work the same way in a community.
