Which is one way an individual citizen can influence the government?<br> Please help now!!!
Nady [450]
Well it depends on the age of the citizen. Folks over the age of 18 can influence the government by simply voting. But, everyone can influence the government. For example, a group or band of High School students could have a protest against how Trump treats women. You could also go to the official website for your senate, representative and even your president. That can simply influence the government.
