Summarize the points made in the lecture, being sure to explain how they cast doubt on the specific points made in the reading passage
The reading and lecture are both about right to vote. The author of the reading state that it shoud be made mandatory for every citizen to vote in order to form democracy. The lecturer disagrees. He mentions it depends on the person whether they want to vote or not and attacks each of the claims made in the article. First, the author begins by stating that compulsion for voting offer people an opportunity to numerous people in making strong democracy because of the huge number of votes. The professor believes there are flaws in the writer's position. He contends that what if they do not like any of the candidate? Nevertheless, if they are compelled to vote then this will made their right unethical. Secondly, according to the writing, there is plummeting in voter's participation. Additionally, the day is not so far when there would be only members of the candidates at the poll. Thus, making it compulsory to vote ensures majority of people participates in voting. Infact, this is what the true democracy wants. The speaker on other hand points out that concluding few voters as bad question the legitimacy because if they are forced to vote amid two candidates which they do not like either then this would form a artificial law. Finally, the reading passage also notes that there is a right of freedom in US. In addition, government work for people and people regulate the government however if they enforced the system of voting to be mandatory then elected official could claim greater legitimacy. The professor rebuts this argument. He puts forth the idea that some people might not have interest and do not care about the politics. Furthermore, if they are forced to vote despite of ill information then it will directly affect the electrol process. As we can see, the author and lecturer holds conflicting views on right to vote. The speaker effectively challenges the writer's argument.
