Me i will give brainiest but we hesitate in this country, thinking that compulsory voting seems somehow un-american (galston); we enjoy our freedom, including the freedom not to vote (ornstein). voting is deemed a civic right rather than a duty. however, our society does impose obligations on citizens when the success of our nation is at stake. two examples are jury service and paying taxes. in this passage from "compulsory voting: an idea whose time has come," what claim is being made by the author? a. forcing someone to vote is considered to be un-american. b. jury duty is boring but an important service to the country. c. the country could not function without money from taxes. d. u. s. citizens already have compulsory obligations to their country

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
