So there seems to be a mild divide among the more racist and the more culturally-inclined Dixies here.
Since it's obvious that a Dixie government would require either a direct democracy (disgusting) or a Constitutional Republic, how should we go about handling voting, /confederate/?
I'm thinking that only those who play a role in the well-being of the nation through either the economy or military should be allowed to vote. This would prevent many of the modern issues of voting caused by those who have no stake in the nation (pic related). Wars are only caused by men who have to fight them when they are absolutely needed. Wars are mainly caused by women and old wankers living off welfare (both of whom will never fight them) for a reason. Same with Aggressive Imperialism (versus free trade) to a large extent.
IMO, to vote you must meet one of the below requirements:
1) Own a Business (plus five years if it closes down)
2) Own Property (same parameter as #1)
3) Serve Active Duty for four years during peace time w/wartime active duty counting as double (Permanent)
4) Serve in the Reserves for six years (Permanent)
5) Procure a Doctorate (Masters and Bachelors need not apply)
6) Graduate from College (applicable for up to a year after graduating since it's assumed you'll be attempting 1, 2, or 3)
7) Obtain a NEV (Non-Economic Voting License)
NEVs would be extremely limited (maybe 10k per year) and would be for priests, non-profit organizations, etc. Things that contribute but don't necessarily qualify as a business or property.
Public Servants (E.G. Government Officials) would be barred from voting on referendums, offices, etc. Except in the case of voting for the Senate if we're a Constitutional Republic.
I'd also suggest that the Supreme Court either be abolished, multilayered (E.G. two or three Supreme Courts each elected/formed differently, and of whom have equal weight to prevent corruption), or at the very least have term limits in such a way as to not come into office until the former president leaves, thus ensuring the previous president's Supreme Court would rule during the new president, lessening corruption possibilities.
And for the nazis who might be present…
Military:

>Only a third of the military are non-hispanic minorities
>Hispanics only make up slightly more than 10% of the military
>E.G. Whites make up ~55-60% of the military, not including Hispanics that are ethnically closer to whites than Natives
Business:
https://www.census.gov/newsroom/releases/archives/economic_census/cb10-107.html
Of the 27.1 million businesses, 22.6 million are owned by whites, that's roughly 83-84% of business. It can be assumed that most of the business by minorities is in minority areas (much in the same way Mexican businesses are mostly along border states).
Homeowners:

I'm assuming this website counts renters as "homeowners" because these numbers seem way too fucking high.
Roughly 67% of the population owns homes (There is probably a large crossover with property owners and business owners).
>~74.4% of white non-hispanics own homes
>~45.5% of blacks own homes (keep in mind a large portion of the Southern population is black, and only about 2 million blacks own businesses)
>~47.5% of Hispanics own homes
