What is the nature of our political community? Is citizenship the proper characteristic to determine membership? Does the right to vote define citizenship, or vice versa?

Defining the Body Politic: The Right to Vote
How is our democracy shaped by the absence of a constitutionally guaranteed right to vote? How has this affected the movements both to expand and limit the franchise?

Next Steps Toward a Vision of Inclusive Democracy
What are the most effective strategies for ensuring participation and recognition of minority voices? Is naturalization a necessary step for immigrant involvement in politics?
