<h1>🏛️ A New Kind of Leader</h1>
<h2>Week 27 • Monday • Leading a Brand-New Country</h2>
<section class="lesson-section">
<h3>📖 Reading Time</h3>
<div class="reading-box">
<p>After winning independence, America had a big question: who should lead the new country? Americans did not want another king. Kings rule forever and pass the crown to their children.</p>
<p>Instead, America chose to have a <strong>president</strong> — a leader picked by the people through <strong>voting</strong>, who serves for four years at a time. If the people are unhappy, they can choose someone new!</p>
<p>This was a brand-new idea in the world. Many countries had kings and queens, but America would be led by presidents chosen by its citizens. This week you will meet the first presidents and learn how they shaped our country.</p>
