Yes and no. Yes because we elect the the people who are in the government. And o because the people we elect are not always truthful during the election period so what they say they believe in is not always true.
Jimmy C
Partially, because we are the ones who elect who runs in our government. We know what they support so we should know what they are most likely going to vote for or against before they go into office. Whatever they do, effects us in a way.
-Kyle Weary
sorta. because we are the ones who elect who we want to run our countryy at the time period but there also could have been information left out at the time of the election or not always the complete truth will come out from the canidates over the election process.
-Abbey!!! :)
Yes we do because we can choose who is in office and if we choose the wrong person then we pay for it. No because people that do get in office they could say they are going to help but they don't
Yes, because we choose who runs our state, but we are not responsible for the bad or good choices they make after we elect them...
CHRISTIAN ALBRIGHT!!
yeah Because we elect the people that run our our government
Yes and no. yes because we need to pick the people to leed us and show us how things need to be done. also they have to be the voice for other people whos voices r not always heard. no because some people say they are for certin points just to get the vote and when they get elected they go and do what they want and dont listen to the points brought up by the people the represent.
Not only the citizens are to blame both us and the people we elect everyone does things thats hurts us and we have to trust that the people we elect can fix the problems that arise
Sometimes the citizens are responsible because we control who runs our government and we know what they are going to do about a situation before they are in office.

I think that it's 50/50. The people we elect aren't always telling what we NEED to know, just what we want to hear. But we also do have a say in what happens with the government. It's our fault too 'cause we put the people in the office and if they do a bad job you can't say that you didn't know about that said person would do that when they said that's what they would when they were campaigning.
Aaron Norton
I think we do and we don't. we vote for who we want there. but they also could be not truthfull for their words in what they say in their speaches.
-Emilyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy! :]
I think that we are responsible for the success or failure of the Government, because we elect our government officials and we should pay more attention to the people we are electing.

Sorta...we elect the who runs the government. No because the person we voted for might have been a fraud. We can't do anything about that. So we have to suffer from other peoples choices.
~Mollie Snyder
VOTE FOR McCain
Yes, because we get to elect who runs our goverment, but they make there own decisions after we elect them.
Dylan Williard
yes because we are the ones who elect the people who run our country
-amanda
we are resposible for both the the fallures and the good stuff because we contrubit to both.
-curran smith
somewhat yes and somewhat no. our citizens are partly responsible for the success or failure of our govt. we pick who becomes president, but then we can't really control entirely in what the government does because we can picket and things but they don't really have to listen to us.
i think that we are responsible because we elect who we want to run our country
there are people relating to the government but the people who arnt in the government should not have any thing but the elevtion of the presindent ashley garber
yes because we elect the presidnet and teh people who run the government. Ashley garber
we are kinda responsible for what happens because we do elect the people who make the decisions but then again they are the ones that make the decisions
We can't take all of the credit for whether our government is successful or unsuccessful, because there are always the unpredictable factors involved. We do have the responsibility to choose who we believe would perform the best in the government positions and who would benefit us. It is our job to know how they stand on certain issues and what they do to change and better our state, but there are chances that canidates may lie or have alteriative motives. We put our trust in them and if they don't do their job it is OUR job to change that and make sure we know what is going on.
in a way we are, because we elect the people who represent us in our government. but that is where our power stops. once the elected person goes into office, we cannot dictate their decisions, so we are not held responsible for the failure or success that comes about in their time in office.
On one hand, we are definitely responsible for the success or failure of our government because of the way our government is set up. We are given alot of rights and freedoms of views. Then with that right we are able to voice our views, but they also go to making a difference. For example, the Presidential Vote.
But then again, on the other hand, we can only be responsible for what we have control over. If it's not available for us to make change about something because we simply have no say, you can't exactly blame us for the failure or praise us for the success.
It is the citizens fault because not only do we elect the people that are in charge but we also should talk to the people in charge so they know what the public wants.
YES because we the people elect who we want to hold office but yet no because we can't control the decisions that the elected offical will make and not all candiates are completely honest in elections so you never know what they will do.
Katelynnn (:
I personally think that it is our responsibility because we elect our president and therefore makes it our responsibility. We elect who we want to be president to fight for what we believe in so we are responsible.
PS after katelynnn it is Samanatha Griffin's comment :)
This is debatable. Our government is based on the people's say, so therefore we are not free of blame. It is our role to elect leaders that we feel will do the best job they can in representing us. However, most Americans abuse the privilege, and it ends up being similar to a late assignment at school. They do not take the time to do the research on what matters, and in haste, make quick decisions on election day. This has created a sort of complacency with not only the voters, but the nominees. They feel too comfortable because they are confident that they will win if they play the right cards. They do not necessarily have to do anything in office to gain approval from the American people.
