Brainstorming on voting requirements:
1. Landowners - needs to have established equity (stake) in the country and nation; must carry risks and bear costs for actions
2. Male - the [more] reasoned and principled sex; authority
3. At least of 35 years of age - maturity and wisdom
4. Must have a family (wife and children) - responsibility, forward thinking, and see #1
5. Language fluency - tightly woven to the sociocultural fabric of the nation and people
6. Religion - morality and ethics
8. Divorced men cannot vote. If you failed your family, we cannot trust you with delicate matters such as state affairs.
