I believe the answer is: citizens choose to trade goods or services for something else of value

Voluntary exchange could only happen if both parties involved are willingly committed to a certain type of transaction because they both genuinely believe that they will benefited from a the transaction. Examples of a voluntary exchange would be when a kid choose to spend their daily allowance to purchase his favourite candy.
