I know everyone is going to put this but I would say freedom and the right to vote. Honestly we are very lucky to have the freedom we do and the ability to vote who we want in office. Many countries don't have the freedom we do.

I think the greatest advantage to being an American Citizen is the freedoms that we are granted. We have a say in what happens to our country and it makes us unique to other people in the world.

The best part of being an American citizen is to be apart of the group that holds most power in government. We have the right to vote representatives into office and impeach electives out of office. They also must listen to us if they want to stay in office

I think that the greatest advantage of being a US citizen is the ability to vote for what you believe in.

As american citizens a great advantage is being able to vote. Although we do not have a 100% democratic government and we are represented, it is still nice to be able to have a say in government issues.

I believe that our right to vote as an american citizen is our greatest advantage. I think this because being able to vote gives us a chance to tell the government what we want and not everyone gets that opportunity like we do.

The single greatest thing about being an American citizen is that you are able to fully participate in the government and the economy. You can experience full submersion into the American way of life and not have to worry about being stopped when trying to do something, like voting or finding a job.

The best thing about being an American citizen is the freedom we have. The reason is, with the freedom we have there are a lot of advantages we have that other countries don't.

The ability to be able to participate in the government and the right to choose. I think it is important because it allows each person to be themselves.

The right to vote is pretty cool. There's nothing really unique to our country, though, so besides voting locally I don't really got anything that you can't find in a better quality in another country.

The best part of being an American is being allowed to participate in the government which in turn lets the public somewhat control who takes charge of the whole public.

The best part about being a citizen of America is citizenship because if you get captured going into another country they send people to get you back.

The greatest advantage of citizenship in my opinion is freedom. I think we are so lucky to have all of the freedoms we have such as the freedom to vote, the freedom of speech, etc.

We have access to many imported good from around the globe, as well as a non censored internet as of now.

I think the greatest advantage of being an American citizen is being able to express how we feel about our government and to not be punished. I think this because expressing how we feel about the government can make it stronger.
