The Importance Of Voting

Morals and justice have played a major part in starting this country. We see evidence of this in our constitution as well as in the everyday lives of today’s citizens. Life without morals and justice would be very unstructured and dangerous. 

Our fore fathers pictured life filled with chaos and disorder without the constitution. This was one of the main reasons why they chose to create such a tremendous document. 

In the text of the constitution, you can see the time and logic spent in each article to help the common good as seen in the bill of rights. 

Without such amendments, we as a people would be torn (without unity) and subject to dictatorship. However, this is not the case with America “Home of the brave and Land of the Free”.  America is far stronger and wiser to falter.

America has several laws at both the state level and national level. Have you ever thought to ask yourself why we have so many laws? Laws are made to protect us from each other. Without laws, people would not do what is right. Instead wrongful actions would be acceptable in today’s society. Everything this country does they do for a reason.

According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary democracy is a government in which the supreme power is vested in the people and exercised by them directly or indirectly through a system of representation usually involving periodically held free elections.

We all know that voting is very important. Voting determines who you want to represent you in your life. But have you ever thought why people do not vote?

Some people feel that their vote does not count. This is typically the reason why people choose to not vote.



In today's society it is crucial that we vote. Exercising our right to vote shows that we not only care but it also shows that we are politically conscious.


The 2010 Census showed that Texas population increased drastically as opposed to ten years ago. This means that there is more representation in the House of Representatives at the state level for the people.

Greater representation in the House of Representatives means more positions to be filled.

The elections that were held yesterday were not a great turnout for the democrats. The Republicans held the victory yesterday. Kraig Watkins, the democrat nominee for district attorney won yesterday as well.

Kraig Watkins is known for setting innocent people free from prison. The fact that he won yesterday has made many Dallas residents happy. However, many republicans feel otherwise.

Tension between the democrats and republicans have increased lately and it can be seen in days that have led up to the election yesterday.

The ABC news network showed that forty-nine percent of America's population supports the Tea Party and more than thirty percent of the supporters are males.

Of those supporters nearly all of them believed that government should play a lesser role in the lives of Americans.

So what do you think? Should government play a lesser role in peoples lives?
