Parliament Democracy: A form of government where citizens elect representatives to make decisions for them, and the representatives elect someone to carry out the decisions.
I picked a chain because the people pick the representative and the representative picks someone to decide decisions. One with out the other wouldn’t really work. They are all linked together.

Presidential Democracy: A form of government where the citizens elect representatives and elect the person who will carry out the decisions.
I picked a tree because the roots are like the citizens as the foundation. The trunk and branches are the representative because they need the citizens to elect them. The leaves are like the president because they need the citizens to vote for them.
