Analysis on the nature of suffrage

Abstract

Suffrage is not a right “recognized” by the Constitution but “created” by people through the Constitution, which is a right of the closest relationship with the people’s sovereignty. It is both a right and a power, where the attribute of right is manifested in that it can be waived with the nature of interest and will, and the attribute of power is manifested in that it can determine the interest and destiny of candidates. However, no attribute is complete. Suffrage is an individual right rather than a collective right, with indirect relationship with the state power but direct relationship with the “holders” of state power, creating them and in turn influencing the state power.
