Criticism of the United States government is when people talk about things the government does and why they don't think it is a good idea. For example, some people might say that it is wrong for the government to take away people's right to vote, or that it is wrong for the government to do things without listening to what the people want. People who criticize the government might tell other people why they think these things are wrong and suggest ways they think the government should do things differently.
