In a democracy the question that arises very often is: are people educated enough to make a good decision about a vote, or are people just too stupid to make an educated decision about a candidate. The question has been around for centuries. Whether it dates back to the early times of ancient Greece or even to the present day is still debated. From the time of Plato, who had his position on this matter, until today it is a relevant and important issue. The question has only one correct side. The only right way is that in a democracy everyone should have the right to vote. Others believe that only educated people or a certain group should vote, but this way is neither right nor fair. different from other men." -Lyndon B. Johnson. That quote shows what is important in everyone's vote. People are naturally corruptible and everyone's vote can help counteract this. If everyone's votes are taken and the votes are to the power of a group, what happens if someone in that group is corrupt, how do you take care of that person if no one can vote them out? This shows that voting is necessary in society to keep power in check and free the government or ruling power by corrupt officials.Every person should have the right to vote because they should have a say in their own life and not be run by others.People vote for who they think can best represent them.If that vote goes away then someone they may or may not support is making their own decisions and it may not be in their best interest and there is nothing they can do about it It doesn't take an education to vote appropriately. It takes... half a sheet of paper... the right to decide who represents them best is taken away. Others believe that people are too stupid to vote. In Plato's Republic, Plato describes his version of prefect government in which only highly educated people called Guardians make decisions. This argument is unrealistic and cannot happen. Even a psychologist's study does not change the fact that people's votes should not be taken away. That people ignore the fact that they don't know enough to vote correctly. When votes are taken away and saved for others, democracy begins to fade and go away. The so-called democracy begins to transform into a communist government run by highly educated people where only the government knows best. Based on all this evidence, no other conclusion can be drawn other than that all people's votes matter and that they are not too stupid to make political decisions.
