Think of jurisdiction like a big, invisible fence around a playground. Inside this fence, certain adults, like teachers or parents, are in charge and can make rules to keep everyone safe. Outside the fence, other adults might be in charge and have different rules. This invisible fence helps everyone know who can tell them what to do and where.
Another way to think about jurisdiction is like a map. Imagine different parts of the map are colored in different colors, like a coloring book. Each color represents a place where different people are in charge. In one color, the mayor might be the boss, and in another color, the president might be in charge. This helps everyone know where their rules apply.
Lastly, jurisdiction is like a superhero’s area of protection. Each superhero has a special city or area they look after. They make sure everything is okay in their area, but they don’t go into other superheroes’ areas because that’s not their place to be in charge. This keeps everything organized and fair.
