Question

What is the most striking irony involving local government in the United States?

Answer 1

The answer is letter D: It is the most accessible, but has the least amount of citizen involvement.

- Around 68% of citizens have more confidence in the local government than in the state and federal government. This is due to the fact that a lot of people can reach out easily to the local government and have issues dealt with faster than in the national and state levels. Though the local government is the most accessible, citizen involvement is at the minimum. In the past, it has been observed that citizen participation in local government decision making is at its lowest. There has been efforts to strengthen participation because it is an important component of a democratic society.
