In a true democracy, franchise (the right to vote) can be limited by certain factors, such as age or education level, to ensure that voters have the necessary maturity and understanding of the issues at hand. However, limiting the right to vote based on factors such as sex or wealth would go against the principles of democracy, as everyone should have an equal say in the decisions that affect them, regardless of their gender or financial status. So, some limitations are acceptable, while others would be considered undemocratic.
