Approval voting

Some say that the legal voting age should stay 18, but other's say it should be lowered to 16. In my opinion, it should be 16, because whoever wins the presidential election will still be president as these 16 year old's grow into their adult life. Turning 18 comes with many new responsibilities and rules, and I feel that teens should have a say in who will be president when they are introduced to those new responsibilities. The voting rate for the younger generation may be smaller than the…

but many people think the age requirements on voting may be the solution we are looking for. Many say it should be lowered although I think the opposite. In my opinion I highly doubt that lowering the voting age would help to improve voter turnout. Most teens and young adults have much on their minds and politics is certainly not an interesting subject when it comes to young highschoolers. These young adults do not think much about voting except for that it is boring and they…

Interest groups utilize donating money through PACs to proceed their influence in policy making by funding candidates with specific ideals that appeal to the interests groups. Through the help of these PACs, funded candidates are better able to win a position through a benefited campaign. Those who helped the candidate win then get a proportional slice of influence in constituency with the candidate when it comes to making decisions on certain policies and movements. This allows interest…

“Courts are meant to be above Partisan Politics, protecting rights and weighing evidence separate from political pressures” I believe subjecting judges to an election, puts them at a high risk for corruption. Therefore I do not believe that voters should elect judges. “The crisis of confidence in the impartiality of the judiciary is real and growing. Left unaddressed, the perception that justice is for sale will undermine the rule of the law that courts are supposed to uphold (State judges…

election and about 60% came out for in the 2012 election (Michael P. McDonald). Comparing America to other nations in voting rates American tends to lag. This is because other nations require their citizens to participate in vote unlike America. This low voter turnout is participially due to the inconvenience of registration. America is the only country that doesn’t have same day voting and registration…

ELECTORAL COLLEGE VOTING SYSTEM Critique/analyze the Electoral College Electoral College voting system applies to the election of the president and the vice president. It is a system whereby votes are granted to each state based on its representation in congress. Votes therefore are not allotted in respect to population. Each state is given a minimum of three votes in addition to two votes for senators. This voting system should be abolished because the distribution of votes per state is not…

The Electoral College can be seen as a good thing due to the fact that it helps unite the country as a whole. Without the College, American politics would be less stable than they are today. Though it can be frustrating to either political side, the Electoral College has benefited America for a long enough time that they should preserve it. The fact that the Electoral College protects minorities gives it the ability to be a two-party system that maintains a well put together government.…

electoral system. The ability to vote is a democratic privilege that some people in certain countries do not have. Indeed, before only men could vote and it is only in 1921 that in Canada, women had the right to vote. However, every year less people are voting, especially those aged from 18 to 24years old, because they do not view it as a civic duty. If the number of voters decreases every year, why and how this disengagement may be damaging to society and could destruct important social…

The election of Donald Trump came as a shock to many Americans. This surprise lead many individuals trying to understand how he could have risen from being the least likely candidate to win, to achieving the electoral victory. When viewing this historical election from a sociological perspective, it become apparent that Trumps character and his promise of reestablishing white privilege played a significant role in his rise and success in the 2016 American elections. Weber would call trump rise…
