Why this is the answer
Civic participation is any way of taking part in how the country is governed. Some ways need citizenship, such as voting and running for federal office. Others use the freedom of speech that everyone in the country has, such as writing to a newspaper or publicly giving your opinion on an issue; the official list also includes joining a political party or a civic or community group, helping with a campaign, and contacting your elected officials. Name any two. Memory hook: vote, join, help, speak up.
