Answer 2

Answer:

To every American citizen, voting is crucial. A democracy is one of the oldest forms of government, and has held strong all throughout history. Through countless battles, the voice of the people has shown through, in fair, just elections. Although we may not speak our own voices in government, we do have the capability to let qualified individuals speak for us. From the White House’s own website, the staple of freedom in this country I quote “One of the most important rights of American citizens is the franchise—the right to vote.” The source then goes on to speak on the many struggles that minority groups fought to overcome to gain the right to vote. Since the signing of the Declaration of Independence, the citizens of America have fought to have their own ideas and thoughts represented in a government that is made by the people, for the people. In the 1920’s, women showed their strength, and won their right in a battle that was long overdue. And then, 40 years later, in the 1960’s, Black Americans fought against similar oppressive, powerful odds and won their vote. All throughout the history of America, people of every origin have fought for the right to vote in this country. And today, it is now every person of legal ages right and obligation to vote, and make their voices heard.
