Question

The right to vote is one of the most important values in a democratic nation. Americans have fought and died to defend that right. American citizens are able to exercise their right to vote when they are 18 years old.

Write a statement expressing your personal beliefs about the value of the right to vote. Offer two reasons why voting is important in a democracy. Tell whether you intend to vote when you are 18, and explain the reasons for your answer.

Answer 1

I believe that the right one has in order to be able to vote is a essential right in an democratic nation. With the vote, my voice and opinions can be known and the will of the majors of the voters can be fulfilled. If the people cannot express their feelings about matters of politics through the ballots, then how would a democracy rightly function. Once I am 18, I will most definitely vote, for my voice/opinion os just as good as any other and it is a right that sadly not everyone can have the privilege of using.
