Under which of the following scenarios might unconventional participation be the most effective choice to accomplish your political goals?
  1. If the government is already working to enact what you want.
  2. If the most citizens hate your cause.
  3. If the government is not doing what you want, but the citizens might be sympathetic to your cause.
  4. If the government is considering doing what you want, but you don’t have widespread sympathy for your cause.
  5. Unconventional participation is never effective.
Explanation
Answer: C - Unconventional participation works best when people might already be sympathetic to your cause but the government is not acting on it. Unconventional participation, by its very nature, annoys people, so you have to be very careful when and how you use it. If the government is already acting in your favor, it is not a good strategy to then go and annoy citizens. Minor annoyance to bring attention and perhaps sympathy to your cause might be effective, however.
