Egyptian Governments over Time
In ancient Egypt, the Pharaoh was an absolute ruler.
He commanded the army and controlled the crops.
The ancient Egyptian community regarded him as a
god. They obeyed his orders and followed his rules.
The type of government at that time was “Rule by
One Person” which was the King.
In modern Egypt, things have changed. Elections
are held for people to vote for their leaders and
parliament members. People also participate in
choosing and voting for rules and laws. The current
government type is “Rule by the People.”
Non-Governmental Communities
A non-governmental community is one
in which people act according to the
rules set to ensure discipline and
self-control. These rules vary from one
community to the other. Your classroom
is one example of these
non-governmental communities. List
two rules in your classroom that might
change when you are in grade six.
