Should citizens have more input in the processes of government?

I believe that citizens should have more input in the processes of their government. The citizens should be able to know what is going on in their own government, it is only fair.

If citizens had more input in the processes of government it would reduce the point of electing officials to office. Many citizens are uneducated, leading to the election of Trump as President. If they are given more input, more wrong decisions will be made.

Abortion would be the most interesting topic to me
