Answer:

Sending emails to a senator and representative requesting that they support a bill.

Step-by-step explanation:

The right to petition the government is guaranteed as an individual power related to the right of freedom of expression, through which American citizens have the right and freedom to express concerns and petition the government in case their rights or interests are affected. In this way, the right of citizens to demonstrate is protected, and it is limited to the federal government through its own public expression as a limitation of eventual tyrannical governments.

In this sense, if a citizen communicates with congressmen to demonstrate for or against a certain bill, or even expressing a certain social problem, the right to petition guaranteed by the First Amendment is being exercised.
