Republicanism

Agree

Yes, any citizen that pays taxes should be allowed to vote

This answer aligns with the republican principle of 'no taxation without representation,' which emphasizes that citizens who contribute to the government through taxes should have a say in its decisions. Allowing any tax-paying citizen to vote, regardless of age, would be consistent with this principle. However, republicanism does not inherently advocate for a specific voting age or criteria, so the agreement with this statement would not be strong.

Disagree

No, and voters should be required to pass a basic test demonstrating their understanding of politics in order to vote

Requiring voters to pass a basic test would likely be seen as an unnecessary barrier to civic participation, which goes against the core principles of republicanism. Republicanism emphasizes the importance of an educated and informed citizenry, but it does not advocate for specific tests or qualifications for voting. The disagreement with this statement would be moderate.
