Question :How do people participate in the formation of the government

Answer :

Who is a citizen?

Anyone who is born in the United States or whose parents are U.S. citizens is a citizen of the United States. An alien is a person who is not a citizen. Many aliens can become citizens by following certain rules and procedures.

The government protects many rights for anyone who lives in the United States. But citizens have one right aliens do not have. That is the right to vote and be elected to public office. Many people say that citizens also have important responsibilities to their country that aliens do not. We will examine what those responsibilities might be in this lesson.

Examining participation

The Founders believed that the main purpose of government was to protect people's basic rights. Almost all citizens have the right to participate in governing our nation. They may choose among many different ways of doing this. Some ways to participate are listed below.

Your class should be divided into small groups. Each group should read the list of ways citizens can participate. Then each group should answer the following questions and share its responses with the class.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of each form of participation that is listed?

Are all these forms of participation equally important in protecting our basic rights? Why or why not? Which seem the most important?

Ways citizens can participate

looking for information in newspapers, magazines, and reference materials and judging its accuracy

voting in local, state, and national elections

participating in a political discussion

trying to persuade someone to vote a certain way

signing a petition

wearing a button or putting a sticker on the car

writing letters to elected representatives

contributing money to a party or candidate

attending meetings to gain information, discuss issues, or lend support

Should citizens participate?

Many citizens do not participate in our government. They don't vote or participate in most of the other ways you have just discussed. However, some people believe that citizens have a responsibility to participate.

Deciding whether to participate and how much time to spend participating is important. To make good decisions, you must think about several things. Some of these are:

the purpose of our government

how important your rights are to you

how satisfied you are with the way the government is working
