Why was Washington D.C. excluded from all previous amendments that gave voting rights?
Washington D.C. was excluded from previous amendments granting voting rights primarily because it was established as a federal district, not a state, and the framers of the Constitution intended it to be governed directly by Congress. As a result, residents of D.C. did not have representation in Congress and were not granted voting rights in presidential elections or for members of Congress. This lack of statehood and representation has historically left D.C. voters without the same rights as those in the states, leading to ongoing debates about its status and voting rights.

The United States is a country that has a plurality voting system and a good example of how views are excluded includes those opposed to continual war in Afghanistan.
