What does is it mean to petition the government?
Back in the old days, the word "petition" had the meaning of "to ask, to make a request." So, if you felt the government was treating you and other citizens unfairly, you could contact your representative or send a formal letter. While this doesn't sound very special, keep in mind that in the era in which the Constitution was written (the late 1700s), people had been put in jail for criticizing the British government. The Founding Fathers wanted to make sure citizens had the right to express their disapproval of something the government was doing, and to ask for it to be changed.
Today, there are many ways to petition the government, including the more modern meaning of signing a statement (on paper or electronically) and having lots of other people sign it too. You can even go online and petition the president or the congress, and various advocacy groups from the major political parties often encourage you do so, thus letting your elected representatives know you are unhappy about something the government has been doing.
