1.Section 1 important issue: I think an important issue of Section 1 is the five stages of expanding suffrage. In the beginning only white males of certain religious belief. The first stage was that religious qualifications disappeared. Then citizens weren't supposed to be denied the right to vote because of race or color, but there were other ways African Americans were kept from voting. Third women were allowed to vote, and then African Americans were given a full role in the electoral process in all states. And lastly, no state can set the minimum voting age at more than 18.
2. Section 2 important issue: An important issue in Section 2 was voting registration. It is an important issue because it is what keeps voting organized and fair. Registration is a porcedure of voter identification intended to prevent fraudulent voting. All States except North Dakota use voting registration. It is also useful to have poll books to keep track of qualified voters in each precinct, and they need to be purged every few years to eliminate people who are no longer able to vote
3. I think that a very important issue from Section 3 is the Voting Rights Act of 1965. This act applied to all elections held anywhere in this country. It made it so African Americans could vote no matter what. It eliminated poll taxes and literacy tests. It also gave the federal government more control to oversee the voting processes.
4. An important issue in Section 4 is the problem of nonvoters. In ancient Athens idiots were citizens who did not vote or take part in public life. Well many Americans don't vote. There are lower numbers in off-year elections. Many people who do not vote, can't. They are resident aliens who are not allowed to vote. There are so many people who just don't vote because they think their vote doesn't matter, but it actually does.
5. Voter apathy is the problem of many eligible voters that don't vote. Our country has the lowest rate of voter participation of any democracy in the world. Many people don't vote because they never have, and their parents never did. They are teaching their children that voting doesn't matter. But what if everyone thought this way, then no one would vote. I think that in school we need to teach kids from a young age how much their vote matters. Show them the consiquences of everyone not voting and what our country could turn into.
6. Every State has qualifications to vote. One is citizenship, aliens are denied the right to vote in the United States. The Constitution doesn't say that they can't vote, so any State could allow them to at any point. Another qualification is residence. In order to vote, you need to be a legal resident of the State in which you wish to vote in. The third qualification is age. The minimum age for voting can not be any mor than 18. Another qualification in all States except North Dakota is voting registration
