The right to vote in the United States was inspired by the principles of democratic rule found in two ancient civilizations: Greek and Roman. Athenian democracy was founded on the idea of direct involvement of its citizens. In the Roman Republic, elected representatives governed on behalf of the citizens. In both cases, citizens had a voice in government, either directly or through elected councils, and were expected to participate by voting.
Democratic government in the United States gives citizens the opportunity to vote for their representatives, but many people choose not to exercise that right. In many countries, however, compulsory voting laws exist that require all citizens to vote in elections.
In a well-developed essay that includes an introduction, body paragraphs, and a conclusion, explain whether the United States should enact a compulsory voting law or let voting remain optional. Be sure to address counterclaims in your essay and include reasons and evidence to support your argument.
