How Do citizens show their consent to be governed?

Answer 1

Current Americans give their consent to be governed largely through apathy. Perhaps this is even too strong a term, as most Americans care too little about who and what their government is and does to even be apathetic. Unfortunately it will remain so until a greater majority of the population is disenfranchised by the very institution that is tasked with upholding the greatest document ever written, the US Constitution.

Answer 2

Americans participate in government by voting to choose the representatives of our country. The federal government is divided into three branches of government - judicial, executive, and legislative. Stated by the Separation of Powers amendment, no on branch could do anything without the agreement of the other two. The legislative duty is to make laws. The judicial branch's job was to interpret the law, and the Executive branch's job was to carry out the law. The legislative branch has two main parts, the Congress and the House of Representatives. The Judicial branch is mainly lead by the Supreme Court, while the Executive branch is headed by the president. I am glad to share this information with you and I hope you find a good use for it.
