Democracy and Universal Suffrage

The concept of Democracy entails that of Universal Suffrage, so there are two main impediments to the actualization of that system--someone prevents someone else from voting, or someone refuses to vote.  Thus, accompanying the well-known, and ongoing, efforts to rectify the former problem, should be those targeting the latter. Accordingly, as has been previously discussed, voting should be mandatory, with a None of the Above option integrated into the system.  These days, who should be eligible to live in the United States is probably the most prominent and controversial topic.  But, regardless of the status of that dispute, the only disqualifier from participating in the American Democracy that is inherent in the concept is a detraction from universal suffrage, in either of two ways, including the refusal to vote.
