Universal adult suffrage is a basic principle of democracy but is this the right thing to do?
1 in 4 Americans Failed to Answer This Simple Science Question - PolicyMic
According to a poll of 2,200 Americans conducted by the National Science Foundation, one in four people are unaware that the Earth revolves around the Sun. The NSF gave participants a nine question quiz about basic physical and biological science, and the average score came back at a barely passing 6.5 questions correct. That's right, the average person can barely pass a basic science quiz, and a large chunk of the population doesn't know how the Earth travels through space.
That in mind, I propose a change in the electoral system of every country that excludes anyone with a low IQ or who can't pass basic general knowledge tests.
I see it this way, if you have no clue about the world around you and/or the inability to learn because you're too stupid, you should not be allowed any participation in the electoral system.
Why would you want really thick people deciding the course any given country should take?
Do you agree?
And if you're on welfare, you can't vote.
Is that you're way of keeping black people from voting?
Is this the right thing to do in a republic? No.Universal adult suffrage is a basic principle of democracy but is this the right thing to do?
Even in the decades following the creation of our new government, when democracy was restricted to the lower chamber of the legislature, suffrage wasn't universal. Voting wasn't a right.
Through constitutional amendments, we have been transforming participation of the franchise into a right, though it can never be an unalienable right because it is not innate (it becomes a desire only after we create reasons to vote). Liberals insist on calling it a right, anyway, ever so slowly broadening the definition of the term to include government endowments.
No, universal suffrage is never smart, even in countries with democratic governments.
Undoubtedly, the right of suffrage is a fundamental matter in a free and democratic society. Especially since the right to exercise the franchise in a free and unimpaired manner is preservative of other basic civil and political rights, any alleged infringement of the right of citizens to vote must be carefully and meticulously scrutinized.

I call them unalienable rights because that's what the DoI calls them. Do you know what they are? Will you identify this clause in Article II, please?Is this the right thing to do in a republic? No.Universal adult suffrage is a basic principle of democracy but is this the right thing to do?

Incorrect.
The right to vote is indeed inalienable, as originally intended by the Framers, and as acknowledged in Article II of the Constitution.
Therefore, the issue has nothing to do with ‘liberals,’ or ‘expanding rights.’ Rather, the issue concerns the right to vote as being as fundamental as any other right that manifests as a consequence of one’s humanity, subject to strict scrutiny, and comprehensively afforded to all Americans regardless one’s station in life:
Given this fact of law, the notion that one’s fundamental, inalienable right to vote can be denied because he is perceived to not ‘pay into the system’ is repugnant to the Constitution.Undoubtedly, the right of suffrage is a fundamental matter in a free and democratic society. Especially since the right to exercise the franchise in a free and unimpaired manner is preservative of other basic civil and political rights, any alleged infringement of the right of citizens to vote must be carefully and meticulously scrutinized.
