president and the House of Representatives choose the vice president oh that was so close that was so close that was very CL got split flop them yes it's okay yeah it's these are tough questions it's actually the House of Representatives elects the president in that scenario and the Senate elects the vice president but you made it all the way to the end you want a lot of money Redemption American citizens have rights and privileges that are protected by our system of free government as Citizens it is our responsibility to know understand and participate in the system in in which we live citizenship describes the relationship between an individual and his or her country the founding fathers were influenced by ideas about citizenship from ancient Greece and Rome they used these ideas to establish the United States as a republic which is a representative democracy where all citizens have equal legal and social status an individual who has granted US citizenship has in essence a deal with the country they get certain rights Privileges and protections that are allotted to all US citizens in exchange for Allegiance and responsibilities toward the country some of the benefits that US citizens get to enjoy are freedom of speech religion the right to a fair trial and the right to vote the founders believe that these freedoms would best be protected in a system of federalism which divides power among three levels of government the federal state and local levels this division of power prevents any one level from becoming too powerful citizens can participate and make their voices heard at each of these levels through elections at the federal level citizens play a big role in the direction of the country when they vote for the President and Vice President they do not however vote directly for the President and Vice President which is a power reserved for the Electoral College fun fact the 14 amendment guarantees that all persons born in the US are citizens except those born to a foreign Diplomat well Uncle Sam unfortunately none of our contestants were able to complete a comeback story well you know Selena they answered tough questions they took my money true
