Embattled Vote in America

Americans have died for the right to vote, yet our democratic system guarantees no one, not even citizens, the opportunity to elect a government. Allan Lichtman calls attention to the founders' greatest error--leaving the franchise to the discretion of individual states--and explains why it has triggered an unending struggle over voting rights.

Americanii au murit pentru dreptul la vot, totusi sistemul nostru democratic nu garanteaza nimanui, nici macar cetatenilor, posibilitatea de a alege un guvern. Allan Lichtman atrage atentia asupra celei mai mari erori a fondatorilor - lasand franciza la discretia statelor individuale - si explica de ce a declansat o lupta nesfarsita pentru drepturile de vot.
