Political Participation Should be Required by Law

I called the doorbell of a two-story brick house in the Southwest Houston. "Hi, I am Republican Representative Dr. John Sanchez, he is running for Parliament in November. Do you want to know information about his platform?" The new Sanchez supporters are our campaign We have made a keen contribution to . Jumping over his lawn, I feel that I contributed to our democracy in my own way. I work weekly with the Sanchez volunteer team in the first grade summer.

It may be difficult to involve people, but regardless of race, class, and other characteristics, democracy requires political participation. In fact, in certain cases, certain laws have been passed in order to prevent hindering certain people's political participation, such as the Voting Rights Act of 1965.

A democratic political system is necessary for political participation to function properly. Therefore, regardless of human race, class, and other characteristics, each person can participate in political participation in various ways. In fact, in some cases, interfering with people's political participation may be a criminal offense. For example, it is against the law to prevent or prevent the referendum of the United States from becoming a criminal act after Congress passed the voting rights law in 1965.

The main features of political participation are clear and undeniable. First of all, it is understood as an activity (or behavior) - even if you are watching TV or interested in politics, you will not participate. Secondly, political participation is voluntary, neither orders by the ruling class nor regulation by specific laws. Third, participation is the role of people as non-experts or amateurs, not as politicians, civil servants or lobbyists. Fourth, political participation, broadly, includes the government, politics, or the state and includes specific stages (such as parliamentary decision making processes and law enforcement), specific levels or regions (national elections, parties and government Contact with senior officials, etc.). . Therefore, any non-professional activities involving the government, politics, or the state are samples of political participation.
