American Government Citizenship
The reason for taking American Government in school was addressed by the lack of knowledge of the younger voters of the American people. The government saw this problem and decided to address it formally in Congress. ... We have become knowledgeable to the types of government, the basic principles of these governments, and the rise and fall of some of these. Citizenship can be defined as the state of being a citizen or as the rights and duties of a citizen. ... Citizenship not only gives a person protection by the government, but also guarantees the citizen is loyal and protective of their country as well. ... Elected officials should always pay attention to those that elect them in order to provide a more effective government. Basically, all citizens should be knowledgeable about how government works, about current issues, about laws governing the country and be involved. If not involved, citizens can’t complain about how the government works and democracy fails to work the way it is supposed to.
