the terms “voting” and “compulsory” must be defined individually to avoid altering the meaning of the resolution.

I value morality. A government can only be responsible for doing what’s possible since:

1: There’d be no point to making moral statements if we could be obligated to do the impossible Sinnot-Armstrong:
Sinnott-Armstrong, Walter. "Ought'conversationally impliescan'." The Philosophical Review 93.2 (1984): 249-261.
First, consider advising...conversationally implies 'can'.
2: contradictory

I contend that it’s impossible for voting to be compulsory.

Ontology precedes normative ethical evaluations. There is no universal human identity. Each person must define himself individually. Sarte:

Given that I only know that which I experience, the only thing I can base my moral evaluations on is my conception of the world, requiring the government to respect everyone’s individuality.

For this to happen, the ways we express value systems must be free. If others define value systems for us, our actions become decided in bad faith. Onof:

In order to ground itself...a human life.

Thus, the standard is ensuring that individuals’ moral codes are freely internalized.

I contend that compulsory voting creates bad faith since it forces people to make choices inconsistent with their beliefs. Lever:

Voting is not...alone all, elections.
