suffrage

Read a random definition: law of the partnership

A quick definition of suffrage:

Suffrage: The right to vote in an election. It is a privilege given to people who are considered fit to represent the community in choosing leaders or performing political duties. Not everyone is allowed to vote, and there are rules that limit who can vote. Suffrage can also mean the act of casting a vote.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Suffrage is the right to vote in a public election. It is a privilege given to people who are considered fit to represent the community in choosing leaders or performing political duties that are difficult for everyone to do together.

For example, in the United States, only citizens who are 18 years or older and meet certain requirements are allowed to vote in elections. This means that not everyone has suffrage, but only those who are eligible.

Another definition: Suffragium is a Latin term used in Roman law that means the right to vote or recommend someone for a special privilege or office.

For example, in ancient Rome, only male citizens who owned property were allowed to vote. This means that suffragium was limited to a specific group of people who met certain criteria.

Related term: Suggestibility is the readiness with which a person accepts another's suggestion. It is the ability to be influenced or persuaded by others.

For example, a person with high suggestibility may be more likely to believe false information or follow someone else's opinion without questioning it. This means that suggestibility can affect a person's decision-making and behavior.
