CLEP US Government

Category - Pol. participation

Which of the following is most clearly an unconventional form of political participation?
  1. Voting
  2. Signing a petition
  3. Boycotting
  4. Writing to an elected representative
  5. Terrorism
Explanation
Answer: E - Terrorism, by definition, must have political motivations and is therefore about as unconventional as you can get in terms of political participation. In the US, terrorism is not a particularly effective tool if your goal is to institute a change in policy (more often the change will go in the direction opposite of what you want).
