In an
attempt to distance themselves from the aristocracy of England, the
Founding Fathers devised a system of government in which leaders are
elected into power, not born into it. As John Jay, one of the Founding
Fathers once said: “The Americans are the first people whom Heaven has
favored with an opportunity of deliberating upon and choosing the forms
of government under which they should live.” As we already know, people
vote for candidates that they want in certain positions, however, have
you ever stopped and asked why people vote the way they do? Voting
behavior in America can be attributed to many factors, which can be
divided into two subcategories: sociological and psychological. The
primary sociological aspects are income and ethnicity, while the primary
psychological factors are political parties and key issues. America’s
voting tendencies depend on many factors, but those two are the primary
reasons.
