Answer 2

Responsive citizen:

Explanation:

• Citizens who are responsive are members of the community who actively participate in the achievement of their rights and the performance of their responsibilities. Any public administration, including municipalities, is required by the right to public participation to create participatory democracy based on informed and empowered citizens.

• Citizens have the right to have ongoing engagement with the persons they elected, in addition to the right to vote. Municipalities must therefore foster a culture of community participation by establishing mechanisms, processes, and procedures for participation; providing information; notifying the public of meetings and other events; allowing the public to attend these meetings and providing documentation to the public; and developing a website that contains all relevant information.
