· Explain the influence that citizens have on/in the various levels of government.
· Consider the various options that citizens have to be involved in the government, such as voting, affiliation with political groups, social media, and running for office.
· You should include local, state, and national levels of government for comparison.
· In an unbiased manner, explain how political motivations and ideology might affect legislative and policymaking processes.
