Answer:
The principle of public participation holds that those who are affected by a decision have a right to be involved in the decision-making process. ... Public participation may be regarded as a form of empowerment and as vital part of democratic governance.
By voting, citizens are participating in the democratic process. Citizens vote for leaders to represent them and their ideas, and the leaders support the citizens' interests. There are two special rights only for U.S. citizens: voting in federal elections and running for federal office.
