Logan J.W. Benson Democratic Elections are some of America’s prized possessions. As of recent times, elections in the United States have lowered in voter turnout. The main reason for this is that one of the lowest age groups for voting is the ages of 18-25. The are individuals who have either just graduated from high school, or just left college after a four-year degree. One of the main reasons for this is the constant focus on math, and reading but lessened the focus on citizenship. Math…

Extensive academic journals in feminism and women’s political participation agree that women are underrepresented in national and state governments because of the oppression they face while being elected. Even though, the passage of the 19th Amendment has given women full means of access into the American political system. Women are faced with discrimination and stereotyped to staying at home to tend to their children. Which contradicts, with the feminist theory that women are equally to men.…

physically go and vote. Adults do not have much free time compared to young people. Nowadays, Americans work more hours than in the past. In fact, a lot of them work more than 80 hours per week. That makes it hard for them to find a spare time to vote. A lot of people are busy carrying on with their daily lives, like taking care of their families, duties and responsibilities outside of work. They rather spend their free time with family and loved ones, or just relaxing after work than vote. This…

Since the 1870s, Canadian women had been fighting for suffrage- the right to vote. However, at that time, a lot of men even the premier of Manitoba Rodmond Roblin didn't agree that women can have the rights to vote.

Voting was created to give power to the people and to make sure that one group could not be in full control. But it does not mean that everyone is willing to do so. The urge to vote usually depends on eligibility and level of education. Most people do vote because they are eligible and registered (some felons and non-citizen immigrants are not eligible to vote), interested by…

In the United Kingdom, an important democratic change was the right to vote for women. It might be obvious in the 21st century that women and men are politically equal but during the 20th century, a militant suffragist stepped in front of horses running a race and received fatal injuries only to acquire the right to vote. To overcome an established culture and gender stereotypes, women protested peacefully, had strong organizations and showed their productivity. In the United Kingdom, just…

serious it is. There is a reason why you have to be a current age in order to vote because they are much older and mature. Although some countries and states say that it is okay for younger people to vote here some reasons why they should not are young teens are too irresponsible to vote, young teens are too self-centered to vote, and they have no sense of history about voting.

role as a voter and that role is more important than they realize. In the past, discrimination in voting was prevalent. Age, race, and gender were all things that could have determined whether or not you were eligible to vote. Being a citizen did not grant you the right to vote. Two centuries ago, only rich white men had that right. In 1870, the fifteenth amendment was passed by Congress. The fifteenth amendment granted suffrage to black males. However, there…
