Do you agree with the concept that every American should be required to cast a ballot? Why or why not? I both agree and disagree. I agree because I am sick of hearing the complaints of how this President or that representative has ruined the country. If everyone were required to vote then they would be responsible for the person they elected into office and for the outcome of that person’s time spent in office. I disagree because this country was founded on the basis of a free society. Moreover, to require people to vote takes away a freedom, however small it may be.…
Voting is a duty that must be fulfilled by every citizen at some point in their lives. Voting gives the citizens of the U.S. a chance to express themselves through an anonymous voice. There are a few restrictions on voting, which include age, citizenship, and in some states weather you’re a convicted felon. I believe that it is unfair that some states make it so felons can’t vote. I really believe felons should be allowed to vote simply because everyone makes mistakes, and some felons have to rejoin society eventually.…
In this great nation, we are given the power of choice through a democracy. Whether that choice be for our next president, congressman, state representative, and in some states judges, our voices are heard through a vote we cast on a ballot. Not only does our vote determine how our government will continue to run, it can change the way we live our lives. When it comes to judges, however, the process can go one of three ways. They are either appointed by an executive member of the state, which must be approved by the state senate, they can go through a retention election, or they can run in an election like other officials run for office. With that knowledge, some people believe that judges should only be appointed, while others believe that…
One reason why it is important to vote is because if nobody voted then we wouldn’t be able to have a democracy type government. We wouldn’t be able to have a president and we wouldn’t be able to have any say in what happens in our government.…
One reason why Americans should be required to vote is because the people have to decide whom their leader is going to be. Evidence supporting this reason is that in FindLaw’s Writ, John W. Dean states that “voting is the least a citizen can do for his or her country, and is not unreasonable to ask of a citizen to do this minimal thing.” This evidence helps explains why Americans should be required to vote because it shows that Americans should take voting as a civic duty like some other citizens do when they vote.…
Voting is a privilege and is a responsibility as an American citizen.More individuals should appreciate that they are allowed to have their voices heard.Americans take our right to vote for granted,they don't realize what a privilege it is to be an American . The participation in voting has hit rock bottom. There are various of reason why not everyone is contributing to their part. Some individuals aren't educated enough about the candidates. Other believe their vote won't affect the election and many have the same mentality and when nobody knows “what if” everyone participated would we have a different top-dog. But instead we leave it to our neighbor to go vote and is a repeated chain.But there…
The right to vote is fundamental in a democratic society, our forefathers intended it to be this way. The ability to choose the politicians who run our government is the very principle that this nation was founded on. During this election year, more and more people are being urged to vote. This raises the question of whether those people are exercising their civil liberty or taking advantage of a privilege. Though some may consider it the latter, voting is a guaranteed right because it is directly promised to us by the constitution and further reinforced by state law.…
Voting is a form of expression of opinion or choice, either positive or negative, made by people or body of people. Voting is the cornerstone of democracy. Although voting is an important privilege, most Americans simply just do not vote. America's known for being apathetic to politics and voting. However, if Americans are apathetic about voting, they should still be able to still express their voice and opinions.…
Voting is a right we, as the United States, was granted. Not all countries have enough rights to vote. So another reason citizens should vote is because we are lucky enough to get to vote. Our country has gained many freedoms over…
Every Election Day some American citizens go vote because they have the freedom and right to vote for who they believe should win. While, some citizens do not take advantage of their right to vote for reasons that may be understandable or they just choose not to. Those that do not vote could make a difference for their town, county, state, and country. Americans could form a petition or send a bill through America’s government that states that all Americans are required to vote. All American citizens should be required to vote because a record can be kept and observed on the population, because some citizens do not take the effort to go vote, and because voting is a part of America’s freedom and their voices should be heard.…
Each citizen in most countries have the right to vote. To best vote, a citizen should throughly educate themselves on the complete issue of the ballet ticket. Which includes political parties, politicians, and legislature. The new generation who is becoming adults now, will be the future america. Therefore each person should educate themselves or be educated.…
As Americans we sure do love our freedom. We want a say in everything, especially…
The essay shows me that voting in the United States is something that many people take for granted. Many of those individuals today are young adults that don’t find the need to vote. Most of them either bandwagon a majority of the time or don’t vote at all. I believe that everybody should be an informed voter. People should vote for a candidate that they both have the same views on topics and is also going to create jobs and continue to improve the…
If voting were made mandatory, America can represent its citizens more accurately. They can know what the American want, when they decide which candidate they think will be beat suited to be president. Each presidential candidate pick a problem that he/she wants to solve the most. If all Americans voted, then they would know which problem they think should be solved first. Now since the majority of people that vote are the wealthy, the election represents them. Which is why everyone should vote, so that the election system represents everyone. Not just a certain group of Americans.…
Voting is extremely important because it's exercising your right as an adult human being in a free country to express your opinion on issues. Every vote counts. What if everyone were to say "Oh it's not important"? We wouldn't get anywhere in the world. Please please please vote and remember those in other countries and conditions that don't have the rights you have.…
