What two steps can the people take when their government fails to servr its purpose?

They can vote elected officials out of office, protest, revolt, or as a last resort overthrow the government. The people are the power behind any governmental force, without the people providing goods and services for the government, the government collapses. Therefore the people have the most power in any government whether they realize it our not. If they become unified to any one cause, no force can truly stop them, as no country, no government can function without them.
