Why is voting an essential component to democracy as it relates to power, oppression, and civil rights.

Voting is an essential power because we as the people decide on who we want as our government. A random person who gets elected if there was no voting could have bad intentions. Its a right we have also its a 9th amendment

Americans often speak of their country as one of several large regions.  these regions are cultural units rather than governmental units --  formed by history and geography and shaped by the economics, literature and folkways that all the parts of a region share. what makes one region different from another? a region's multicultural heritage as well as distinct demographic characteristics like age and occupation make regions different and special. within several regions, language is used differently and there are strong dialects. there are also differences in outlook and attitude based on geography.
