I'm just quoting from a website
"the factors leading to the downfall of empires of Ghana, Mali, and Songhai
Climate change and struggles with Berber groups in the Sahara led to the downfall of the Ghanaian Kingdom
Later kings followed the patrilineal tradition, where the eldest son succeeds the father. Since there seems to have been no strict tradition, there were many fights over succession. This led to civil wars and was a large part of the reason why the Mali Empire declined.
Like the Mali Empire, the Songhai Empire also suffered from many battles over succession. In Songhai, the brothers of the king often tried to depose him; in turn, some kings tried to protect themselves by killing all their brothers. The last great battle for succession occurred when a great army general challenged a new king. Many men were killed in the battle for control of the country and the Songhai army was weakened. When troops from Morocco invaded to seize control of and revive the trans-Saharan trade in gold, the Songhai Empire could not win and was conquered, making this the last of the great West African empires."

The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Indeed, young people have historically failed to participate in the election process - fewer young people vote than those of other age groups.
I think this occurs because young people feel there is a lot of corruption and lies in the political system, and that politicians do not act with integrity.
Many youngsters notice how legislators endlessly argue with each other in the House of Representatives and the Senate, or how is the relationship between the executive branch and the legislative branch. And they don't like what they see. They turn to the other side
How does this negatively impact democracy in the US?
Of course, that behavior is not good because youngsters are the next generation that is going to run the United States.
They have to be prepared, informed, ready to fill the highest political spots and corporative spots to take the US into the next decade. And if they are not informed and actively participate in politics, it is going to be difficult for them to understand what the country needs to move forward.
