How are citizens involved in the 3 branches of government?

Answer 1

Here are some ways: The Executive (President) is chosen by the citizens of the US in the Presidential elections (yes, there are electoral college technicalities). You can let the president know your thoughts about issues by emailing or snail-mailing him, or by calling the White House. You can contact your representatives in Congress to support or oppose various bills, and to urge over-rides of presidential vetoes. (Congress makes law, and it's the president's job to enforce it.) You can contact your representatives in the House of Representatives to urge impeachment if you believe that that action should be taken.

Also, the people can amend the Constitution to define, expand, limit or otherwse modify the Executive Branch. The people do not have to wait for Congress to initiate an amendment; the states can do this on their own (although this route to a constitutional amendment has not yet been taken).

Every citizen can vote for who they think should be president. Therefore every four years it is up to the citizens to decide.

Citizens are involved by voting for senators and writing letters or contacting your senator or congressman about your issue so they can be addressed in the house of Representatives when your state Representative goes to Washington DC. Citizens are also involved by voting for your state senators and congressmen. Every citizen has the ability to vote for the candidates who will bring their concerns to the attention of the President.

Answer 2

Citizens may participate in numerous ways. They may commit a crime, in the form of civil disobedience to test an unjust law. Additionally, they may run for office as either a judge or a district attorney. The most common involvement is by serving jury duty, in either Grand or Petit juries.

Answer 3

We vote. Directly for congress members and for the president. For the supreme court the president we elect names a candidate which is then either accepted or rejected by the senate. Locally, we vote for judges and other elected officials such as mayor, city council members, and many of the positions held in the county court house and the county board of supervisors. At the state level it is the same.
