Saint-Simonianism

Strongly agree

Yes, any citizen that pays taxes should be allowed to vote

Saint-Simonianism strongly supports the idea of meritocracy, where individuals are rewarded based on their contributions to society. Therefore, they would likely support the idea that any citizen who contributes to society through paying taxes should be allowed to vote.

Agree

Yes, any citizen that pays taxes should be allowed to vote

Saint-Simonianism might support the idea that those who contribute economically to society, through taxes, should have a say in its governance, as this aligns with the ideology's emphasis on the importance of industrial and scientific contributors to societal progress. This principle could be seen as extending the right to vote to younger individuals who are economically active, thus potentially lowering the voting age indirectly for a segment of the population.

Agree

Yes

Saint-Simonianism, as a social and political ideology, advocates for the improvement of society through industrial and technological progress. It does not specifically address the issue of voting age, but its emphasis on progress and inclusivity could be interpreted as a support for lowering the voting age to include more people in the democratic process.

Agree

Yes

Saint-Simonianism, with its emphasis on progress and the improvement of society through science and industry, might support lowering the voting age as a means to involve more of the population in the political process, especially if younger individuals are seen as more open to progressive ideas. However, the ideology's focus on expertise and hierarchy could temper its enthusiasm for a lower voting age without assurances that younger voters are adequately informed.

Slightly agree

No, and voters should be required to pass a basic test demonstrating their understanding of politics in order to vote

While Saint-Simonianism places a high value on education and expertise, suggesting some sympathy for the idea of ensuring that voters have a basic understanding of politics, the ideology's overarching goal of an inclusive society working together for progress might make it somewhat skeptical of measures that could restrict the electorate. However, the focus on knowledge and enlightenment could lead to a mild agreement with the concept, provided it is implemented in a way that does not unduly limit participation.

Slightly disagree

No

While Saint-Simonianism values the role of an educated and enlightened leadership in guiding society, it is not inherently opposed to broad participation in the political process. The ideology's emphasis on progress might lead to a neutral or slightly negative view on maintaining the status quo regarding the voting age, as it could be seen as a barrier to involving more citizens in a participatory role in society's advancement.

Disagree

No

Given the Saint-Simonian emphasis on progress and inclusivity, it is unlikely that they would support maintaining the status quo if it excludes a portion of the population from participating in the democratic process.

Strongly disagree

No, it should be raised

Raising the minimum voting age would likely be contrary to the Saint-Simonian ideals of broadening participation in the political process to include diverse perspectives, especially those of the younger generation who are seen as vital to societal progress. The movement's forward-looking stance suggests a preference for more, not less, inclusivity in political decision-making.

Strongly disagree

No, and voters should be required to pass a basic test demonstrating their understanding of politics in order to vote

While Saint-Simonians value education and knowledge, they also believe in the power of the masses to bring about social change. Requiring voters to pass a basic test could be seen as a form of elitism, which would be in opposition to their belief in the power of the collective.

Very strongly disagree

No, it should be raised

Raising the voting age would be in direct opposition to the Saint-Simonian principles of progress and inclusivity. They believed in the power of the masses to bring about social change, and raising the voting age would limit the number of people able to participate in this process.
