How to use "Suffrage" in context?
Suffrage is the right to vote in elections. The word is derived from the Latin word suffragium, meaning "right of suffrage." In ancient Rome, voting rights were granted to certain male citizens who had reached the legal age of 21. Over the years, the right to vote has been extended to include women and other groups.
Suffrage is a fundamental human rights issue. It is important for citizens to have the right to vote because it is their voice that will be heard in the political process. This prevents the powerful from abusing their power and forcing their views on the rest of the population.
