How do individuals and groups of people influence the political process?



I thought this was a good letter that shows how people want to know more about what is going on.


Both individuals and groups of people influence the political process by getting involved, making their voice heard and their opinions count. Voting is what individuals and groups can both participate in. However, groups are better heard in a crowd with a protest or other involvement and can easily influence the individual. Any individual cannot do the same as easy.

Just think about it, all it takes is just one person to speak up, one person to make others turn heads. This one person can start a group to rally and join forces in what they believe. Individuals make the groups and they can in turn combine their powers to influence above all other voices and that would truely help the united states people.

Here is the citation for an article I read about how it takes one person.

Critical Question: If we only had the opportunity to be a part of a whole group, democrates vs. republicans, how would that change our individual influence of the political process?
