I am not a native speaker - what is the difference between these two words?
- frederikvs 5y agoIn e.g. a monarchy, the head of state is the king or queen. In many monarchies these days, this person tends to have very little actual power. The leader of a country is the person leading it, e.g. a president, prime minister, or similar. Sometimes the term head of government is also used, which I think is usually the same as the leader of the country.
