Boston prides itself as the Cradle of American Democracy. The American Revolution began here and Boston was the home to Paul Revere, John Hancock and other patriots whose protest against King George III of England served as the catalyst that led to independence, democracy and equal rights for all citizens.
Boston's tradition of political activism has always ensured that the residents have a voice in the political process. By participating in the democratic process, you fullfill your duty of a citizen and also shape the future of this City and the Government.
