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.

Afghanistan is considered more Central Asian or South Asian <br><br> Why?
Luden [163]
<span>Because of simple ignorance. Almost no Afghans consider themselves “South Asian” in real life. The truth is that words such as “Middle Eastern,” “South Asian,” “Central Asian,” etc. are just words Western explorers who never set foot in half of these countries assigned to them. They probably just assumed that all of the “stan” countries would be similar and called it a day. Afghanistan is an Eastern Iranic country that sits on the Iranian Plateau. There is nothing South Asian about it at all.</span>
