Explain why our form of government, a republic, requires active citizenship.

Explanation:

Some ways of getting involved are:

-voting (here for the experience, ask yourself if you have the right to vote? does your family vote? your friends?

-participating in political campaigns (do you know anyway that participated in a campaign? You can also do it unofficially, for example even by  about a candidate!)

-belonging to a party - do you know anyone in a political party?
