Civic Virtue

Agree

Yes, any citizen that pays taxes should be allowed to vote

Civic Virtue ideology would likely support the idea of allowing any citizen who pays taxes to vote, as it emphasizes the importance of citizens actively participating in their community and government. This answer aligns with the idea of 'no taxation without representation,' which has historical roots in the American Revolution and the fight for greater civic participation.

Agree

Yes

Civic Virtue ideology emphasizes the importance of citizens actively participating in their community and government. Lowering the voting age could potentially increase civic engagement among younger citizens. However, this ideology does not inherently prioritize lowering the voting age, so the score is only moderately positive.

Slightly disagree

No

Civic Virtue ideology does not inherently oppose maintaining the current voting age, but it does prioritize increasing civic engagement and participation. Keeping the voting age as it is might not be seen as a strong move towards promoting civic virtue, so the score is slightly negative.

Disagree

No, and voters should be required to pass a basic test demonstrating their understanding of politics in order to vote

While Civic Virtue ideology values an informed and engaged citizenry, requiring voters to pass a basic test could be seen as a barrier to participation and potentially discriminatory. Historically, literacy tests and other voting requirements have been used to disenfranchise certain groups of people, which goes against the principles of civic virtue.

Strongly disagree

No, it should be raised

Raising the minimum voting age would likely be seen as a move away from promoting civic virtue, as it would reduce the number of citizens able to participate in the democratic process. Historically, civic virtue has been associated with expanding the franchise, not restricting it.
