How does this e-mail show how an individual can influence government? “dear cynthia citizen, you for your letter about your flooded neighborhood. i had no idea your street flooded with every rainstorm! certainly i can see why that is a problem for you and your neighbors. i have the issue set for discussion at the next county meeting on tuesday the 24th. if possible, i know it would the other council members understand the problem if you and/or your neighbors could come speak about it. bring pictures if you have any. sincerely, chris carrod county council member”

The correct answer is, this email shows how an individual can influence government by the power of participation.

The citizen, concerned by the flooding in her neighborhood, decided to take action and do something instead of just criticise, complain, and do nothing. That is the power that an informed citizen has: action. Participation is one of the most important ways an individual can influence government decisions. Mostly, if its collective participation, which means the sum of many wills to do something about anything that affects the lives of people in a city.  

That is why the County Council member asked to invite her neighborhoods to participate and speak about the issue. Union makes people stronger.
