Read the passage from Of the Wisdom of the Ancients.Now the philosophy of the Greeks, which in investigating the material principles of things is careful and acute, in inquiring the principles of motion, wherein lies all vigour of operation, is negligent and languid; and on the point now in question seems to be altogether blind and babbling; for that opinion of the Peripatetics which refers the original impulse of matter to privation, is little more than words—a name for the thing rather than a description of it.
Read the sentences from Richard's essay.During an election, polling sites pop up all over urban and suburban areas. Having a place to vote only minutes away from one's home increases the likelihood that citizens will vote.

Read the excerpt from "Voting Access for Native Americans," an article from the US Election Assistance Commission.Addresses on tribal reservations are assigned by tribal governments, not cities, counties, or other non-tribal agencies. Because each tribal entity has its own governance structure, tribes may not have adopted local ordinances to name roads, assign numerical addresses, put up road signs, or other conditions to assign a situs address to every residence. Although the "National Mail Voter Registration Form" provides the opportunity to physically describe where a voter lives using a map, it can be difficult for both the voter and election officials to determine the exact place of residence if the information provided is unclear or unfamiliar. In addition, tribal members often receive their mail at post office boxes or other locations besides their residence address because of the lack of home delivery. This can lead to delays in the voter registration process and receiving or sending election materials by mail.Read the excerpt from "Securing Indian Voting Rights," an article from the Harvard Law Review.For many Indians, geography impedes each step of the voting process. . . . Registration in person may be difficult given geographic distance, and though states must provide for voter registration by mail, "[r]egistration forms have been rejected for failing to have a proper street address, even though there is no address numbering system in many rural areas." Similarly, when attempting to obtain voter identification, "Native Americans, especially those living on rural reservations, may not be able to provide proof of residence [required to secure identification] because many tribal communities do not have street addresses." State facilities providing identification services may also be distant from Indian communities . . . and otherwise inaccessible due to a lack of viable transportation options.
