There have been only two requirements to vote since 1776; What are they?
The word consent appears three times in The Declaration, twice in reference to the body of the people.
The word our differs from the body of the people in the taxation, as opposed to a government boy of legislators.
CONSENT.
1. The act of consenting.
2. Concord ; agreement.
4. Tendency to one point.
To CONSENT.
1. To be of the same mind ; to agree.
2. To co-operate to the same end.
In order for this to include "the act of yielding" the consent of the governed phrase, must have been written as the majority of those who submit a ballot. If written in this way, it would signify that if you do not submit a ballot, you will be considered as yielding to the majority of those who do.
A great foresight on the part of the writers makes it necessary to attain the consent from thr majority of the total number of people registered as votes; or fail for lack thereof.
