But there are limits to this right, and states can establish reasonable restrictions on time, place, and manner of voting. For example, states can pick the date and time of their elections and can require their residents to register before voting.

Exploring Identities within the United States: Many Voices, One National Identity
The goal of this final lesson is to provide a bridge from the examination of individual identity in prior lessons to the study of the history, literature, or civics of the United States with which students will engage throughout the rest of the year.
Students will start the lesson by considering the idea that nations, like individuals, have identities. They will also consider the relationship between a nation’s identity and the identities of the individuals who comprise that nation. Then they will look at evidence of the changing demographics and increasing diversity of the United States and analyze what that information suggests about the complexity of the country’s national identity. Finally, students will respond to the idea that a cohesive national identity requires knowledge and values shared by all individuals in a nation, and they will consider a variety of ideas about the knowledge and values that unite Americans.

- Where does a nation’s identity come from? How can individuals with so many different identities come together to form a national identity?
- What is the national identity of the United States, and how does it relate to each of us as individuals?
