Hope this helps! - Oseli

Both compulsory and voluntary voting systems have merit, and this has to be considered if it were to be implemented in the U.S. A large benefit would be more voter representation. Democracy is very important to the united states, but low voter turnout means that it can be difficult for every person's voice to be heard. Furthermore, some people, like prisoners, don't get the right to vote, and this also hinders representation, especially concerning laws surrounding the justice system. However, a con of a mandatory system is that it Violates the freedom of choice, which in America value greatly. Free choice is an important right, and the government mandating voting can be seen as a violation of this. Making more people vote in incredibly needed yo have a healthy democratic country, but at the same time, it is also debatable whether mandatory voting is the best way to do it.

Answer:Making voting mandatory in the United States would increase voter turnout, ensuring that the voices of more citizens are included in choosing representatives. However, many people might believe mandatory voting goes against the American ideals of individualism, freedom of thought, and personal choice.

1. Predict what would've happened differently if it were Black Lives Matter protesters involved in the event on Capitol Hill, ra
melomori [17]

Answer:

1. If it were blm protesters, there would've been shoootings, deaths, tear gas, police officers punching and kicking protesters because the way America views and treats black people, minorities, and poc. They are treated as such that their life doesn't matter and white people are superior and more important.

2. The impact of yesterday's event at the capital proves that white privilge is real. They practically walked into the capital. The difference between that and blm protests is blm supporters are fighting for racial injustice and the trump supporters who raided and destroyed the capital are throwing tantrums cause trump lost. Especially the fact that the president of the US ENCOURAGED them to destroy and raid the capital. And many important people were inside and could've been killed like Mike Pence for instance. He put his on VP in danger. And the trump supporters at the capital were breaking the law by breaking in, smashing desks, stealing mail (which is fraud btw), and be all kinds of violent for what? because trump lost. And they only got treated a fraction of what blm supporters  would've been treated

3. No i completely disagree with the methods of the "protesters" at the capital. They werent even protesters. They were criminals and rioters. Breaking the law. There are many other ways they could've done it. They could've simply had a peaceful protest like many BLM supporters did.
