Hey there! Have you ever wondered what happens when a country’s leader doesn’t follow the rules? π In some countries, there’s a special way to hold them accountable called impeachment! Let’s dive in and see how it works.
π What Is Impeachment?
Impeachment is like a big check-up π©Ί for leaders. If they break important laws or do something seriously wrong, the government can investigate them. It’s a way to make sure everyone, even presidents and prime ministers, follows the rules!
π°π· How Does It Work in South Korea?
In South Korea, the National Assembly (that’s like their big meeting of lawmakers) can vote π³οΈ to impeach a president if they believe something isn’t right. Then, the Constitutional Court steps in to decide if the impeachment is fair. If they agree, the president might have to step down from their position.
π£ People Power: Protests and Voices
Sometimes, people gather in big groups called protests to show how they feel about what’s happening. They might carry signs, chant slogans, and come together in places like the capital city, Seoul. It’s a way for them to say, “We care about what’s going on!”
π€ Why Is This Important?
Impeachment shows that leaders are not above the law. It helps keep countries fair and just. When people participate and speak up, it makes democracy stronger! πͺ
π‘ Remember!
It’s amazing to learn about how different countries work and how people can make a difference. Who knows? Maybe someday you’ll be a leader making positive changes in the world! π
