Minors have all rights we have. They are too young to exercise them so they are held in proxy and exercised by their parents.

Their parents vote for them? Must be Democrats.

1. The vote is recieved when the child becomes the age of majority and holds capacity. This is directly addressed in the 26th Amendment.

2. Parents are presumed to vote in their child's best interests.

None of this means that rights guaranteed in the Bill of Rights do not apply to minors, when exercised through their parents.
