Analysis Of Popular Go To War By Armand Petito

Popular Vote to go to War
By Armand Petito
A popular vote to go to war would not benefit the American population. Allowing constituents to directly vote would cause a large negative impact throughout the entire United States. For example, “Senator Bevridge spoke in 1911 on behalf of one of the hundreds of constitutional proposals stating,
“Political parties . . . elect a legislature and [the] majority in that legislature
is not supposed, nor even sanctioned, according to the pristine theory of
then Constitution, to cull the best man in the State. . . . It must cull a man
of the party which elected the legislature. . . So it comes to pass that
senators have genuinely been . . . culled by the ‘party managers’ . . . .
the party boss has become more potent than the legislature, or even the
people themselves, in culling Cumulated States Senators in more than

one State’” ( National Archives and Records Administration).

A popular vote would not be benign because many people in the US do not appreciate America, the regime is thriving, and the regime has further expertise than the US civilians.
A popular vote for America would not be benign because many people in the US do not relish America. In fact, there are auxiliary foreigners coming into the United States persistently. For example, the article foreign students: coming and going says, “The number of foreign students at universities in America reached a new high of 819,644 last year” (The Economist). Furthermore, there have been hundreds of terrorist attacks on America. Many People just come to the US to eradicate it. However, the United States federal administration has kept the constituents safe since

9/11.
A direct popular vote to go to war would be extremely threatening, especially given that the government system is flourishing. “The Electoral College is the American way. A direct popular vote should not replace the Electoral Vote in popular elections, because the country was founded based on the promise that the smaller states would not be pushed out by the larger states” (Jchenck). “Electoral College is successful and voter turnout is a huge problem, and having a direct popular vote would simply further that issue. It would decrease constituent voting turnout because people would be inclined to cerebrate vote as frivolous. would be inclined to think, “My vote is just one out of a whole population, so why should it even matter what I said?” We don’t want that to happen and we don’t want a popular vote” (Jchenck).The government is in perfect state and does not need any changes.
A popular vote for war in America would not be beneficial because the government knows much more than the American people do. The government knows how to control and stop enemies trying to attack the US. Who’s better to decide on if the US goes to war or not, the government officials with years of experience or a drunken red neck who just wants to fight and kill? Also, many humans in America have mental issues. It just is not a great idea to let that much power in the hands of such irresponsible people.
The United States is doing just fine without a popular vote for war. The popular vote would just cause confusion and big problems. The government seems to have everything under control so why bother them and the system? Too many Americans think the government is going under and everyone is in trouble, but that is far from true. “The US government is in better shape than ever.”
