A democracy only works when the people engage in politics. The Founders of the United States of America risked everything to establish our republic. In the process, many of them died, so we ought to engage in politics as a civic duty to ensure their blood and sacrifices were not in vain. We may hold new values about the direction our state takes in the future which ultimately differ from our Founders, because it is our choice. Choice is the foundation of democracy, so take political action to exercise your choices.
There are many ways to exercise your political rights. These include:
