It depends where they live. In the US and much of the world, they can vote, petition to have laws changed, run for office, audit their government's budget, watch the activities of their government ("Watchdogs"), and protest. If you live in a free country, get involved! See an unfair law? Get it changed through the judicial (a lawsuit for violation of constitutional rights) or get it on the next ballot through a petition. If you live in the US, go to your state's official website to find out how to proceed.
