An active voice construction suggests who the essay's intended reader is.
Cat owners in Bigger City should license their cats.
suggests that the essay is aimed at cat owners.
By contrast,
Bigger City Council should require owners to license their cats.
is probably aimed at the council members.
A good thesis statement indicates the topic, the audience, the purpose, and the writer's opinion or perspective on the topic all in one short sentence.
