Argument - The Voting Age Must be Lowered

The democratic existence in the United States must lower the voting age and imagine the moment when the elderly is deprived of the voting power. Imagine that elderly people are older, so elderly people are considered not to vote if they are too incompetent. You can imagine that such a majority of American citizens are deprived of their voting rights - simply because of their age. That is impossible in the United States, it is so. It is not a free country, it is not a country that controls the government, it is not the opposite.

The argument against lowering the voting age to 16 includes the lack of political maturity. On the other hand, one of the main issues of lowering the voting age to 16 is that in most countries this age will reach the statutory working age in most jobs and there is an obligation to pay the tax, so we should not pay the tax is. There is no political expression. In the 2000s, states in the United States (including California, Florida, Alaska) proposed several recommendations for reducing the age of voting, but none of them succeeded. Nationwide reductions were proposed in 2005 in New South Wales in Canada and Australia, but these recommendations were not adopted. In May 2009, Denmark parliamentary member Mogens Jensen proposed to the Congress of the European Commission in Strasbourg an initiative to lower the voting age in Europe to 16 years.

This month, the District of Columbia also proposed reducing the age of voting, and seven of the thirteen directors supported this measure. The age of voting is falling in the four cities of the United States. At Hyattville and Greenbelt (all cities in Maryland) and Tacoma Park in Berkeley, California, 16-year-old children can vote in local elections. However, lowering the age of DC is different as it allows 16 - year - old children to vote for federal elections. Although some people think that teenagers are not responsible enough for voting, the last time they lowered the age of voting was not so long ago. After the Vietnam War, Congress passed the law to lower the voting age from 21 to 18 years old. Because many people believe that it is unfair for an 18 - year - old child to join the war silently. Please vote for those sending them. There are many laws that affect young people.
