Identify the sentence that explains the role of political parties as a watchdog for citizens.
Political parties enable citizens to communicate with their government leaders and help ensure that the government remains responsive to the needs of the people. Parties raise money for several purposes. They use funds to pay for campaign appearances, to buy ads, and to pay workers. Between elections, one political party is out of power. This is the party that lost the elections for president, governor, or congressional seats. It tries to make sure that members of that party do not misuse or abuse their power. Through speeches, printed material, and ads, candidates tell voters where they stand on issues. Leaders within the legislature work hard to make sure that all the lawmakers in their party support the party’s position on any bills being discussed. The president, governors, and some mayors have the power to appoint individuals to fill certain high-level jobs.
