Voting is a privilege and comes with responsibility in making a well informed decision

Explanation:

This question is about the article "Voting: A Right, A Privilege, or A Responsibility?"

The main idea of the article is the importance of the vote, which is established as a privilege, a responsibility and mainly a right that must be preserved and respected at all costs. It is important that each citizen sees the vote as a way to protect himself and his country and therefore, he must take the responsibility of researching the best candidates, being able to make important political decisions that will promote the country's progress.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
