Answer: A democracy such as the United States thrives on an involved citizenry, and government is most responsive to citizen needs when they weigh in on laws. A proposed law that has not yet passed is called a bill. Citizens can propose a bill to their local, state and federal representatives, and then get involved to help it become law. In order to pitch a law to your government representatives, you need to be informed about current law and ensure that it does not conflict with any other laws.
