Town meetings have been a part of American history since its foundation. Why do you think it is still important for citizens to attend town

meetings over 200 years later?

Town meetings are still important today because they allow the public, or the citizens of the state to be aware of the nature of the problems within the political, economic, and social realms. Furthermore, despite all of the available media, town meetings allow the citizens to interact with government officials on a more personal level, and ensure that we are represented in the government.
