Introduction
The American government's theory is considered and referenced as one of the working systems across the world.

An increase in participation rates among minority groups will ensure that such groups elect candidates suited to advocate for their concerns and challenges in a multiracial society. Former President Obama and Hilary Clinton proposed a raft of measures in seeing minority groups' grievances are heard. Based on the concept of universal suffrage, every citizen should be accorded a chance to take part in the election process.
