Bootstrap Checks and Radios
To style checkboxes, use a wrapper element with class="form-check" to ensure proper margins for labels and checkboxes.
Then, add the .form-check-label class to label elements, and .form-check-input to style checkboxes properly inside the .form-check container.
Use the checked attribute if you want the checkbox to be checked by default.
The form-check class is used to group the checkbox and its label, while the form-check-input class is applied to the checkbox itself. The form-check-label class is used to style the label associated with the checkbox.
