Americans should exercise their right to vote. Many of our predecessors fought and died to earn the right to vote, and we disrespect their legacy by not voting due to apathy or forgetfulness. When informed voters cast their ballots, they voice their opinions on political issues that shape public policy. It is not fair for people to complain about public policy unless they participate in the electoral process. Choose the best concluding statement that supports the argument.

1. As citizens of a representative democracy, voting is our responsibility.

2. Americans are allowed to vote as soon as they turn eighteen years old.

3, There is a presidential election every four years in the United States.

4. High profile political campaigns are expensive and difficult to run.
