Max said... Also, nowhere in our (U.S.) constitution is there a right to vote. Not in the bill of rights, not in the articles. In other words (I think - someone correct me if I'm wrong), it would not take a constitutional amendment to change our current system, just a majority vote passed into law by a state legislature...
- I can't believe you missed it...it's right there next to a woman's right to murder an unborn child, and the right for two beings to be "married", regardless of anything. As far as the states being able to control their own voting processes, I think the Voting Rights Act speaks for that (Not that there's anything in the Constitution that authorizes THAT little gem of legislation)...oh, but it only applies to SOUTHERN states, so I guess the northern states could do it. Heinlein's approach to suffrage is a lot like John Stuart Mill's... To quote Supreme Court Justice Salmon P. Chase, who served from 1864 to 1873, "State sovereignty died at Appomattox".
