Summary
Rossi asserts that children should get the right to vote, since it’s undemocratic for people to live under a government that doesn’t represent their interests, and children’s interests are sometimes different from the interests of their parents. Smith acknowledges that children and parents can have different interests. But he concludes that we shouldn’t give children the right to vote, because their conception about what the government can or should do is too simple, and because their timeline for being affected by the government is very different from that timeline for adults.
Strongly Supported Conclusions
For some people, it’s acceptable that that they live under a government that doesn’t represent all of their interests.
The simplicity of one’s understanding is relevant to whether one should get the right to vote.
