Should being a felon (a criminal) strip you your voting rights? This is a question i have been asking myself for long but without answers. Why should you be denied the voting rights just because of a crime not related to voting?
The right to vote is enshrined in our constitution. it is your Constitution right to elect whoever you deem fit to run for the office without any discrimination.(Give our president Obama four more years).
The denial to vote was imposed to limit the rights and powers of the lower class from becoming the advantaged (those who have) and be insignificant in the society.The upper class always tries to deny the lower class the entry to a better world this is confirmed by the fact that the lower class will commit crimes due to having less and once the crime is committed there is no "undoing". you are rendered powerless for ever.
I see it as it was a way to deny the African American the right to vote because they were more likely to commit crimes(from bureau of justice statistics(Black victims of violent crime Aug, 2007)
The disadvantaged(those who do not have) are denied their voice in the system and then always try to do their best to be like the advantaged. Its time to be allowed to vote for your choice.
