Today at St. Marks I did jump roping in the gym. It was fun. I also learned about a Democracy. It is a type of government that run the people. A government is a person who makes the laws. Democracy is a group of people who vote for the next president. Dictatorship is no people vote for the next king or Chinese president. The previous Chinese President or king or queen chooses who to be the next one. Republic is in-between Dictatorship and Democracy. Republic is a group of people that choose a smaller group of people then the smaller group of people choose who to be the next one. I also learned three kinds of branches for the United States. There are fifty states in America. The three branches are executive branch, legislate branch and third jucial branch.
