Registering to vote when a citizen turns 18 is NOT directly an example of a citizen participating in policy-making decisions.
Actually voting would be a way to participate in such decisions, both in terms of which candidates one votes for as well as which ballot initiatives (in referendum issues) the voter supports. The other answer choices all show the citizen participating in ways that express policy preferences. Campaigning for a particular candidate would be done to show support for policies supported by that candidate. Writing letters and demonstrating also are actions intending to shape public policy.

Answer:
The mid-Atlantic colony of Pennsylvania was founded by William Penn primarily because of his desire of religious freedom.
Explanation:
William Penn received the colony of King Charles II instead of paying a £16,000 debt owed by the Crown to his father, a naval hero, Admiral William Penn.
The establishment of the colony solved the problem of the growth of the Religious Society of Friends or "Quaker" movement born in England, which caused some embarrassment to the Church of England established before. While still in England, Penn wrote the First Frame of Government, which described the government structure of the colony and promised certain rights to citizens.
As part of the Middle Colonies, Pennsylvania was a proprietary colony. Unlike other proprietary colonies, its taxes were reinforced by the British Parliament. The colony was separated by the 42nd and 39th latitudes and the Delaware River to the east with an east-west distance of 5 degrees longitude. It was bordered by the colonies of New York, Maryland (defined by the Mason-Dixon Line in 1763), and New Jersey. The three counties of the Delaware colony, taken from the Dutch, were transferred to William Penn by the Duke of York in 1682, but regained by a deed a separate existence in 1704.
B) unable to lead the country through Reconstruction.
C) often at odds with Republicans in Congress.
D) assassinated at the end of the Civil War.
As a slaveholder and a Democrat, President Andrew Johnson was C) often at odds with Republicans in Congress.
Andrew Jhonson took office upon the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln in 1865 when the American Civil War was coming to its end. One of the characteristics of his four-year term was his strong disagreements with Republicans in Congress.
As the Civil War had ended, Johnson tried to restore the Southern states (The ex-confederate states) to the Union by granting amnesty to most ex-Confederates and allowing the southern states to elect new governments. Most of the governments elected in the states enacted "black codes", as a way to control and repress the freed slaves. The Radicals of the U.S. Congress found Johnson's policies too lenient and disagreed completely.
They also strongly disagreed over equal rights to black people. In 1866, Johnson vetoed a pair of legislation that protected blacks ( Freedmen’s Bureau bill and the Civil Rights bill) and urged Southern states not to ratify the 14th Amendment which granted citizenship to blacks, however it was ratified in 1868.
Over the following years on Johnson' term, tensions didn't cede, and in February 1868, the House of Representatives voted to impeach Johnson for violating several laws. However, in May, he was acquitted of the charges by the Senate.
President Andrew Johnson, as a slaveholder and a Democrat, often clashed with Republicans in Congress during the Reconstruction era.
As a slaveholder and a Democrat, President Andrew Johnson was often at odds with Republicans in Congress. During the Reconstruction era, Johnson clashed with the Radical Republicans who wanted to implement more significant changes in regard to racial equality and the rights of freed slaves. Johnson's stance on these issues hindered his ability to effectively lead the country through Reconstruction, making option B) 'unable to lead the country through Reconstruction' the correct answer.
