In the Middle Ages
people did not get to vote
for a government.
Small communities were ruled 
by the local lord.  
The lord owned the land 
and everything in it.  
He would keep the peasants safe 
in return for their service (work).
The lord, in return,
would provide the king 
with soldiers or taxes (money).
