Democracy: A system of government where power lies with the people who rule either directly or through elected representatives – just like how songs at a dance might be chosen by majority vote.
Constitutionalism: This term refers to adherence to a constitution which limits powers of government officials – similar to rules set by school administration for what can or cannot happen at the dance.
Consent of Governed: This phrase means that citizens agree on who their rulers will be – much like students agreeing on who should serve on their dance committee.
