Models of Voting Behavior
Which of the following models of voting behavior is best illustrated by the argument in the excerpt below?
“We stand at the crossroads of history. Our actions today must be guided by the lessons of yesterday. Voters should reflect on the performance of those in power and demand accountability. In the past, leaders who neglected the welfare of the people have faced the judgment of the ballot. Modern citizens must weigh the successes and failures of their government with the full measure of history. It is not sufficient to rely on mere promises about the future; our vote should recall the tangible results of past performance. In this way, the democratic process remains rooted in experience and informed judgment.”
—John F. Kennedy, The New Frontier, 1960
