Ch 6 Test - Your Blog Due Nov 23.
1. Provide a paragraph on an important issue of your choice from Section 1:
The Constitution does not give the government their choice on who gets to vote and who doesn't. This being said the government can't change the voting qualifications every year to whatever they want it to be. If the government wants to change the age of voting however there is a long, expansive line they could go through to get the law changed in their certain states.
2. Provide a paragraph on an important issue of your choice from Section 2:
In section two the main issue is voter qualifications. This carries over from Chapter One as it also has to do with how old you are to vote and whether the state can change that. To be a voter in some states you need to be a resident of that state for as much as one year and as little as ten days. Most states keep the number of days need to live in their state around 30 days. Another qualification is that you need to be at least 18 years of age and also, of course, a U.S. Citizen.
3. Provide a paragraph on an important issue of your choice from Section 3:
Section Three brings up the Voting Rights Act of 1965. In this act the right for basically everyone to be allowed to vote was brought up and it passed. After 1965 everyone who wanted to vote and passed the qualifications needed could vote.

4. Provide a paragraph on an important issue of your choice from Section 4:
The problem that was talked about in Section Four was probably the biggest problem throughout the whole chapter. This problem was people just not voting. Getting a chance to vote is something that everyone in the United States has the honor of doing and some people don't even use this privilege. Whatever the case may be people need to get out and vote as this is their chance to voice their opinions.

5. Explain voter apathy and what can be done to help it:
Voter apathy is when a some people have no interest in the election and they just don't vote. There really isn't a way to help this because I can also see the side where if somebody really doesn't care who wins the upcoming election then they really don't have a reason to vote. The only way I can think of helping this "problem" is by making it illegal NOT to vote, but this would be a very absurd law that probably won't fly to well with the U.S. Citizens.
6. Explain the qualifications for registering to vote:
6. Explain the qualifications for registering to vote:
To register to vote you must be a U.S. Citizen, live in your residence for that states desired amount of days, and be 18 years old. Otherwise registering to vote is completely free and can be very easily accessible.
