Lesson Summary
Laws are rules made by the government that everyone must follow to keep the community safe and fair.
Explanation
Laws start as ideas. When people in a community see a problem, they can ask their government leaders to create a new rule. The leaders discuss the idea, make changes, and vote on it.

Everyone must follow laws, and there are consequences for breaking them.
