Laws are meant for the safety and welfare of the people. In the absence of laws, there will be inequality in the society as the rich, influential and powerful would get their way out.

A monarchy has either a king or a queen. A monarch is not an elected person rather he get power hereditarily. In some traditional monarchies, the monarch has the supreme power. However, in a constitutional monarchy like the UK, the democratic government limits the monarch's control.

The government works at three different levels to manage its responsibilities. The three levels are local, state and central level. The local level government governs the village, town or district. The state-level government governs a particular state of the country. Lastly, the Central Government manages affairs that concern the entire country.

The two essential features of a democratic government are:
(i) People's participation in decision-making through their representatives.
(ii) Government is answerable to the people.

The power to take decisions and make laws depends on the form or type of government are:
(i) In democracy, it is the people who give this power to the government through the process of elections.
(ii) In monarchy, the King or the Queen has the power to make decisions and enforce laws. The monarch may have a small group to discuss matters but the final decision lies with the monarch.

A Democratic Government has the following elements:
(i) In a democratic government, leaders keep on changing the parties which leads to instability of the government.
(ii) The elected leaders do not know about the best interest of the people. This leads to bad decisions.
(iii) Democracy leads to corruption as it is based on electoral competition.
(iv) In a democracy, people have to be consulted, that leads to delay in decision making.

Women's struggle for right to vote got strengthened during the First World War. During the war, many men were away for fighting and because of this, women were called upon to do the work earlier done by men.
When people saw this, they began to realise that they had created many unfair stereotypes about women. Then women organised themselves and demanded equal right as men. This movement is called the women's suffrage movement as the term suffrage usually means the right to vote.
All women demanded the right to vote for themselves and to get their demands heard, they chained themselves to railing in public places. Many suffragettes were imprisoned and went on hunger strikes.
Finally, in 1920 America provided voting right for women and later in 1928 UK also gave them the right to vote.
