24. In America In America, we are a democracy. We have one primary “ruler” though,they are known as our president. The president is elected every four years, and can be elected two terms in a row. The people vote on who they want to be president, based on who is running for office. The person who has the most votes, becomes president. How ever, to run for president you have to have certain qualifications, such as being born in the United States, being 35 or older, and has been a resident in the United States for more than fourteen years. Next in power, is the vice president. The president and vice president, make the final decisions for our country, but are helped by many other people.
26. In Denmark In Denmark we have a Prime Minister and a Queen. The Prime Minister is called Lars Lokke Rasmussen and the Queen Margrethe the second. In Denmark we have democracy so all over 18 can vote to who will be the new Prime Minister. In Denmark we have democracy that is the same like in the United States. The Queen doesn´t deside anythng.
