Should the US Government Lower the Voting Age to 16?

Should the US Government Lower the Voting Age to 16?In my last article on essay samples I suggested that the US government should lower the voting age. In this article I will explore why the US government should lower the voting age. To be perfectly honest the only real argument against lowering the voting age is that those who support the status quo are often Democrats and Republicans.After every election the government lowers the voting age. This is a move that should have been made in 2020, yet it wasn't. The first time I heard about this I was already well into my adulthood, but once I began reading about the potential for abuse, I took a look at it a second time.So where did the idea come from that the government lowers the voting age to improve election integrity? If you read through some of the essay samples that are now being offered, I am fairly certain that you will find that several of them contain highly questionable or outright false information. The usual suspects inclu de random people randomly picking names, people from countries where English is not the primary language, people on the internet, people who claim to be experts in several different subjects.Do you see where I am going with this? I'm not suggesting that any of these essays samples are completely untrustworthy, but they shouldn't be taken as gospel either. The essay samples used to back up the claim that the voting age should be lowered are usually from individuals who have little understanding of the basic principles of elections, let alone the particular laws in the US.For instance, in an article entitled 'What We Need to Know' one of the authors states that we need to 'feel safe trusting our government to help us choose our next leader'. Does this mean we should not make decisions that will involve the US government at all? Does this mean that we can trust our government to make decisions for us when it comes to our healthcare or our education?The fact is that the goal of essay sa mples like these should not be to convince us to trust the US government. The goal should be to get us to reconsider and come to our own conclusions about which candidate is best for us. I have no problem with individual citizens deciding what their preferences are, as long as they remain unbiased and in the public eye.The idea that the US government is somehow biased and corrupt because they prefer to keep their people uneducated and uninvolved in politics does not mesh with the idea that individual citizens can have any say in their government. It does not mesh with the notion that the US government is overstepping its bounds when it attempts to push through their policies.In conclusion, it appears that essay samples that use the voting age as a weapon of persuasion against President Trump and other politicians are running out of steam, but they will probably keep appearing. Some of these essays samples will probably look very persuasive when you read them, but if you take them as gospel and start believing them you will end up with something that isn't very good.
