Question
“Why do good citizens follow rules and
laws?” (To keep order in their city,
school, and home)
“What’s a law?” (Rules that all citizens
must follow. They are created by the
people in the government. It could be
the local government, state gvt or
federal gvt)
“What is a rule?” (A “law” that you
follow at home, school, sports, because
they are created by your parents,
teachers, coaches—not the
government)
Rules you follow may not be the same
as rules that Demian follows. Why?
(Because he has different parents than
me!)
Rules can be different depending on
