How can anyone who doesn't demonstrate a basic knowledge of the nation, the language in which its laws are written, and the form of its government be trusted to participate in the government?
Who's to say what 'basic knowledge of the nation' means?
i see people make pronouncements on this board every day about our government that I know would never be made by anyone who ever actually studied it. I see pretend constitutionalists make pronouncements about what our constitution is every day that I know none of them would ever make if they had ever studied constitutional law.
Do I get to judge what 'knowledge' means?
I think not. And THAT isn't what was intended by our form of government.
Or should we just let those in power vote for us since apparently people are too stupid to vote?
If you're a citizen of this country over voting age, you get to vote. Or should we disenfranchise someone who's written english perhaps isn't as good as their conversational english? do we have a literacy requirement? Nope.
