Cassandra Ziegler Professor Westley Research Proposal 03/30/15 Research Proposal Assignment Topic: Felon voting for life. Yes or No? Taking away or relinquishing back the right for a convicted felon to vote I found quite a bit of information about. As far as any personal experience in this subject I do not have any, however my interest was sparked when finding that there were more than 5.3 million Americans (1 out or 40 adults) unable to vote due to a felony conviction in 2008. Some questions I may ask in this paper would be, “What is the probability that a felon will receive their voting rights back depending on what state the crime was committed?, Where did the “civil death” concept come from?, What are the charges or crimes that will …show more content…

The reason I am Interested in this topic in particular is because there are many questions that in fact are debatable to this topic such as, Does Pluto have the specifications to be named a planet?, Why was is changed back and forth from a star to a planet?, What does Pluto’s location and size have to do with it being a planet?, and major differences between a said planet and Pluto itself? I do not have previous interest in this subject but I would love to take this topic and make a stand on it because astrology alone is changing every day and we never know what tomorrows research is going to bring us. I will be gathering my information for this argumentative essay from respectable internet sites but also books including certain authors such as David A. Weintraub, Elaine Scott, Neil DeGrasse Tyson, and NASA itself. Also information from the NASA sites and college facilitated websites as …show more content…

With many different opinions on this topic I find that is would be a very interesting topic to argue. I do not have a former opinion on this topic but to have a daughter whom is required to get these vaccinations and feel as if arguing this essay would not only be a great challenge but also form a good opinion to have. Different things I would try to address in this paper would be if the benefits outweigh the risks? What are diseases who have vaccination’s required? How many children experience side effects and with what vaccinations do they experience the most? Why and when were they made a requirement? Who does the vaccinations help and hurt? I would not only address the side I have formed regarding this subject but I would also address the opposing side and attempt to shed light on both pro and con opinions. I will gather some of information to gain my opinion from different books whom have covered this topic, The Center for Disease Control, sites with credible authors whom have already formed their opinion on the debate. I will also be gathering information from the college campus library and possibly finding more facts and opinions there and I may if possible attempt to find a teacher or a school and have a one on one discussion with them as to how they feel regarding the topic for or

    What if one day you weren't allowed to voice your opinion about the people who run our country, your country, in other words, if you couldn’t vote? A lot of people don’t vote, but what if you didn’t even have the right to do so? In 12 states, ex-felons aren’t allowed to vote even after serving their prison time. When you think of a felon you probably think of someone that has done terrible things and shouldn't have a voice in politics, but that figure should be changed. One lady, by the name of Leola Strickland, isn’t allowed to vote because she has a felony on her record for postdating a few checks and having them bounce because she lost her job(1).

  • Why Do Felons Get Their Right To Vote

    1111 Words  | 3 Pages

    “Many people say that serious crime committers have shown they aren’t trustworthy” (Clegg). After a felon is released from prison, the expectation is that they will shape up and return to their lives, however most of their lives are completely changed. When a felon is released from prison, they should retain their same rights as a US citizen as well as their right to vote and serve in Jury Duty, because they served their time and cannot be held in double jeopardy, and are valuable assets to the country for work and less homelessness. When felons are released from prison, they should retain the same rights as the average US citizen as well as the right to vote. Nonviolent felons who have served time for more than a year for misdemeanors are unable to vote because their judgment can no longer be trusted.

  • Felon’s Readapting into Society and Their Right to Vote

    1925 Words  | 4 Pages

    Throughout the nation there are 5.3 million Americans who are denied their right to vote because they have a criminal conviction on their record (“Felon Voting Rights”). In the state of Florida, a felon can’t apply for his right to vote to be restored until at least five years after he has completed his sentence, with no guarantee of his rights being restored. Violent and repeat felons haven’t proved they are good citizens; however non-violent felons, who have committed victimless crimes, should be allowed to have their rights restored when they have served their time and paid off their fines. Non-violent felons would have a better chance of readapting into society because they would be able to vote in elections, be rehabilitated, and return to fully contributing members of society.

  • Disenfranchising Felons: Should Ex-Felons Be Allowed to Vote

    901 Words  | 2 Pages

    The feelings of allowing felons to vote is chilling; those who have been to prison have committed crimes and are out to get their rights back. But it is clear that felons should be “disenfranchised because they have broken the laws,” says Edward Feser, a philosophy professor and writer. Yet people are still questioning whether it is moral to keep felons from getting the rights to vote. Disenfranchising felons is unintentional in racial issues, and is used to punish felons to teach them that once they've broken the laws, they have lost their voting rights as well, and it would also keep felons from violating fellow citizens' voting rights.

    One of the more controversial debates in today’s political arena, especially around election times, is that of felon disenfranchisement. The disenfranchisement of felons, or the practice of denying felons and ex-felons the right to vote, has been in practice before the colonization of America and traces back to early England; however, it has not become so controversial and publicized until recent times. “In today’s political system, felons and ex-felons are the only competent adults that are denied the right to vote; the total of those banned to vote is approximately 4.7 million men and women, over two percent of the nation’s population” (Reiman 3).

    The United States is one of the only few democratic countries that disenfranchises convicted felons. An estimated 5.85 million people charged with a felony are banned from voting. Moreover, felon disenfranchisement laws are a form of racial discrimination because a large percentage of felons are Hispanic, Latino or African American that have been incarcerated as a result of racial profiling. Denying felons from voting is unconstitutional since the right to vote and cast a ballot is supposed to be the cornerstone of democracy. Felons who have completed their sentence should be restored their right to vote as they should be able to participate in elections just like every other citizen.
