Answer:
The best and easiest way to participate in the government is to stay informed of the political climate as well as the events that are occurring in the political sphere, both within the nation, and outside. You can always participate in governmental activities by informing yourself, creating a viewpoint, and expressing your viewpoints in desired times, as well as to start shaping your outlook for when you are old enough. Information that is correct is key in allowing one to choose the best candidate when you are legally able to vote.
