Alma Gonzales · Answer 2

The correct answer is B. Discussing a policy with peers who share the same view

Explanation:

In representative democracy that is the type of government in the U. S. and many other countries, political decisions including policies are the responsibility of the politicians elected. Due to this, the regular citizen can only contribute or influence policies by electing representatives that represent his/her interest, this includes voting for a president or any other representative or participating in case the government decides to ask all citizens for their consent on some policy. This means it is not effective to discuss a policy with peers to influence government policies because this would never lead to a change in policy or let the government know as a citizen you do not agree with a policy.
