More About Citizens
Long ago, people lived in small groups. They made rules to help each other. Over time, they formed towns and countries. Today, we have many rights as citizens.
Being a citizen helps us feel safe. We can share our ideas and help our home. It is good to be part of a group that cares.
In the future, more kids may help make rules. They will learn how to be great citizens. Every person can make a big change!
