Ralph Nader was an advocate for having the US Federal Government be accountable to its citizens. He believed that the US Federal Government and the way it regulated large businesses was out of touch with the American public. He believed the way to change things for the better was through the voting booth and also having candidates for election, provide more than lip service to the public at large. The basis for this lay in the US Constitution. When this document was adopted into law, citizens were "closer" to the intent of the Constitution & voting was a right that was the keystone for the accountability of the Government. He correctly observed that even in presidential elections, nearly 50% of eligible voters never even voted. To set an example to bring many policies of Government to light, Nader ran for president himself several times. His third party approach brought him deserved media attention, however, the Two Party system was impossible to bend. Nader lacked the funds to successfully campaign for president.
Sadly, even the 2008 Presidential election saw only about 55-60% of Americans voting. That figure is generous... based on the various sources available n voting, 50% is closer to reality.

How did Rome control the privileges and benefits of citizenship?
Rome controlled the privileges and benefits of citizenship through a combination of legal status, social hierarchy, and political integration. Citizenship was a valuable asset, granting individuals rights such as legal protection, property ownership, and the ability to participate in government. Rome strategically extended citizenship to certain groups, such as conquered peoples and allies, to encourage loyalty and integration into the empire. Additionally, the gradual expansion of citizenship over time helped to assimilate diverse populations and maintain control over vast territories.
How is citizenship related to patriotism?
Citizenship is basically a mutual trust between the government of a country and its inhabitant. Patriotism is the love for one's country/nation, and the willingness to fight for it. Patriotism is an ingredient in citizenship, without patriotism, the government does not know how loyal you are, how willing you are to support it, and to fight for it. On another hand, you may be a citizen of a country but at the same time, the patriot of another. Hope this helped.
