Document Summary

The question of whether or not the voting age in the united states should be raised to 21 has been debated for years. Some believe that raising the voting age would promote more informed decision-making and political engagement among young adults. 18-year-olds have the right to vote, and that changing the law would be undemocratic. In this essay, we will examine both sides of the argument and explore the implications of raising the voting age. One argument in favor of raising the voting age to 21 is that young adults at this age are more mature, responsible, and experienced than 18-year-olds. Supporters of this argument contend that 18-year-olds are not yet fully developed, and that they lack the life experience and judgment necessary to make informed political decisions. They point to the fact that 21-year-olds are typically more established in their lives, having completed their education and entered the workforce, and are therefore better equipped to make informed decisions.
