In the earliest days of our country, the "founders" only allowed land-owners to vote (setting aside the obvious disenfranchisement of blacks and women for the sake of philosophical argument). The idea being, one must have a stake in the country in order to have a say in its direction. Today, the only restrictions are age and citizenship.
Should there be any other restrictions on voting? Would you tweak it in any way? Is the current system too restrictive?
