Question

In 1787, the constitution was drafted with a preamble to explicitly state that the origins of power in this new democracy resided not with a king, but with the people. we the people has generally evolved over the years to include more than it did in the late 18th century. in your opinion, are there still groups who are disenfranchised and are not considered as an equal source of power in our democracy?

Answer 1

In my opinion, yes, there are still groups who are disenfranchised and not considered as an equal source of power in our democracy. An example of these people is those in the lower class of the society. In today's setting, only the 'representatives' have power and those whom they represent do not. <span />
