Which of the following is most clearly a conventional form of political participation?
  1. Blocking a highway during a protest march.
  2. Staging a sit-in outside the governor’s office.
  3. Writing to your elected representative.
  4. Terrorism
  5. Performing “graffiti art” on the Capitol rotunda
Explanation
Answer: C - Writing to your elected representative is a conventional form of political participation. The idea of “conventional participation” is that it is widely regarded by the population as acceptable and perhaps “normal.” While all the options for this question are forms of political participation, only writing to elected officials is widely deemed “acceptable”. The others are considered “unconventional participation”, with terrorism perhaps being the most unconventional.
