Kungani abahlali baseWashington, DC bengenayo amalungelo okuvotela kanye nokumelela
Uyazi ukuthi abangaphezu kwesigamu sezigidi baseMelika bahlala eWashington DC futhi abanamalungelo okuvota? Kulungile, i-DC yasungulwa okhokho bethu njengendawo yesifundazwe ezobuswa yiCongress kanye nezakhamuzi ezingu-660,000 zenhloko-dolobha yesizwe sethu ezingenayo ukumelelwa kwentando yeningi eSenate yase-US noma iNdlu yaseMelika yaseMelika. Abantu abahlala ku-DC bakhokhela intela yesibili ephezulu kakhulu yentela yenzuzo yezwe kodwa abavoti ukuthi uhulumeni wesifundazwe uchitha kanjani amadola akhe yentela futhi angavoteli ezindabeni ezibalulekile ezifana nokunakekelwa kwezempilo, imfundo, ukuphepha komphakathi, ukuvikelwa kwemvelo, ubugebengu ukulawula, ukuphepha komphakathi kanye nenqubomgomo yangaphandle.
Ukuchitshiyelwa koMthethosisekelo kudingeke kudluliselwe ukunikeza amalungelo e-DC wokuvota. ICongress idlulisele imithetho yokushintsha isakhiwo sikahulumeni DC esikhathini esidlule. Ngo-1961, ukuchitshiyelwa koMthethosisekelo wesi-23 kunikezwe abahlali baseDkt ilungelo lokuvota okhethweni lukaMongameli. Ngonyaka we-1973, iCongress yadlulisa uMthetho WesiFunda sase-Columbia Home Rule Act enikeza i-DC ilungelo lohulumeni wasekhaya (mayor kanye nomkhandlu wedolobha). Kwaphela amashumi eminyaka abahlali baseCc babhala izincwadi, babhikisha, futhi bafaka amacala okuzama ukushintsha isimo sokuvota kwedolobha. Ngeshwa, kuze kube yimanje, abaphumelelanga.
Lokhu kuyinkinga yokuhlanganyela. Abaholi beRiphabhuliki ngeke basekele ukuvakasha kwendawo ngoba iSifunda saseColombia siphezulu kwamaphesenti angama-90 iDemokhrasi kanye nokumelela kwalo kuzosiza iDemocratic Party. Ukungabi nabameli ngamandla okuvota, iSifunda saseColumbia ngokuvamile sishaywa indiva uma kuziwa emalini asezingeni likahulumeni.
Izinqumo eziningi zeSifunda nazo ziba nesihe sabantu abanamalungelo amahle kuCongress, futhi njengoba ungacabanga, abakhombisi kakhulu. Konke okuvela emthethweni we-commonsense gun ukunikeza ukunakekelwa kwezempilo kwabesifazane nemizamo yokunciphisa ukuhlukumeza izidakamizwa kuye kwaqedwa amaRiphabhliki, athi i-District ayifani nomqondo wabo omdala wokuthi umphakathi kufanele ukwazi ukuzibusa ngokwawo.
