If the United States is to remain a true democracy, the voting rights of all people must be secured and guaranteed. Otherwise, certain groups will not find representation in government and will not be able to take part by holding public office. Because the Constitution did not establish voter rights for all groups, subsequent government actions had to be taken to do so.

The purpose of the rights listed in the US Constitution is not to "give" them to us, but rather to ensure that the Government does not infringe upon them. It isn't a declaration of our rights, but an acknowledge of them.
