Answer: The universal adult suffrage
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is not specific, but I think the question is taking about democracy and the right to franchise. Democracy can be defined as the system of government which are constituted by the elected representatives of the people. It is a government which came to power through the consent of the governed, that is a government with the approval of the people being governed. One of the characteristics of democracy is the principle of universal adult suffrage which simply means that a citizen of a particular country must be of voting age before such a citizen can be allowed to vote for the candidates of their choice in a free and fair election.
In a democracy, it is illegal for a person who is underage to participate in the process of electing the representatives of the people at all levels.. for instance, in some countries a person must be 18 years and above before such a person can be allowed to register to vote in an election and be issued with a valid voters card which guarantees such a citizen's a full participation in the democratic processes of their nation.
