Quote:I did not limit my discussion to rights as universal.

 

The bolded statement is simply not true. Some version of the phrase "the right to vote" is mentioned 5 times, more than any other "right". If a sentence begins with "the right to vote shall not be abridged/prevented [by/due to/etc]" is acknowledging a right to vote.

 

Anyway, we agree that registration should be simple and free. I don't agree with your proposal that voting must be limited to anyone possessing a certain level of knowledge of government functions, because that would be too easy to manipulate and skew in favor of certain groups.
