(2) Everyone is equally affected by the laws and policies of the state. Therefore, everyone should have the right to choose their representative.
(3) All are equal. Those who do not take any part in politics are not taken care of by the government much. In this way, everyone should be given the right to vote for the protection of the interests of all.
(4) Adult franchise gives some representation to minorities. There is no need to give them a different representation in this way.
(5) The best way to separate the citizens from aliens is adult franchise.
(6) It enhances people's reputation in society, because big leaders come to him to get votes.
(7) For the protection of civil rights, it is necessary to give political rights to the people so that the government should not try to crush the freedom of the people.
(8) Elections bring political awareness in the society. In order to overcome political dissatisfaction with the society, it is necessary that every citizen should be given the right to vote.
(9) Adult franchise provides political education to the people and their interest is created in government.

Arguments against universal adult franchise:
(1) Sir Henry Men believed that this has hindered the scientific development of the country.
(2) Leki pointed towards the dangers of the government run by the ignorant public and partly requested for a franchise on the basis of education and property. The legislature is essentially a taxing machine and it should generally be chosen by the restricted voter for the people paying taxes. Leki further said that one of the great questions of politics that is going to rise in our day is that in the form of the last resort, the world should be controlled with its ignorance or intelligence.
The idea is that the last source of power should be for the poorest, most ignorant, most inefficient people, which is essentially the highest, is a theory that reassures all previous experiences of mankind.
(3) The franchise is a sacred national duty and should not be misused. If every adult is given the right franchise, then a very intelligent person will abuse it.
(4) Bourgeoisie buy votes from poor people and laborers. Thus, it is not fair to give everyone the right to vote.
(5) Questions related to the administration are getting complicated day by day. A general voter is unable to understand the full questions. In this way he selects representatives who understand.
