Academic Language Week 22 - Felons Voting

Felons should not able to vote. Why, because when you commit a crime you should lose that privilege. Also, they could vote bad laws or bad people come to our government. Some people believe that some people’s criminal history isn’t RELEVANT to their right to vote. Those people who believe in like the constitution as a SOURCE, for felons, the “right” to vote is relative and it’s something that can be lost. There are good arguments on both sides of this COMPLEX issue. In my opinion, the safety of our well being outweighs everything else. Therefore felons should not be allowed to vote.
