Cuba has a dictatorship, which limits the voting rights of the citizens.
One way that a citizen can participate in a democracy is by voting for politicians.
White male suffrage is a form of voting rights that grants all adult white men voting rights. After the 1828 election, in which Andrew Jackson won, voting rights increased.
According to the Declaration of Independence, governments are established to secure the rights of mankind, such as the rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. These rights, according to the Declaration, are unalienable, meaning they cannot be taken away. When any form of government becomes "destructive of these ends" (the unalienable rights of the citizens), it is the right of the citizens to "alter or abolish" that government, and establish a new government that will protect the rights of the people.
Voting is not a form of government coercion in my society.
That varies depending on who the citizen is, their economic status, culture, and race. Even voting varies as each Canadian vote is not of equal value. Generally our system does not have citizens participating directly in our representative form of government.
A monarch does not give rights to citizens. They don't have to since they control everything.
The original intent was to insure that those voting were citizens, not foreigners. The rich quickly capitalized on this as a way to prevent the poor from voting, so this form of voting was ruled unconstitutional (poll tax). Colonial America was not democratic. Voting rights were limited to rich, white landowners in order that they could maintain control of the government. The founders were staunchly against granting any voting rights to anyone outside of that narrow class. The concept of equality was associated with "mob rule" in England and was something to be avoided at all costs.
Voting is good. It is a means by which citizens participate in a democracy. If citizens do not participate in a democracy, then there will be no democracy, and the alternative is some form of autocracy, and that generally does not work out well.
The Constitution outlines what the Federal government is allowed to do. It also outlines our rights as American citizens in the first ten amendments which is also known as the Bill Of Rights.
Totalitarian regime is a form of government in which the nation's government has total control over the people. The citizens have no rights to vote/elect for officials or new governmental laws.
If you meant 'what form' - it's a democratic government.
