Careful. We dont put qualifiers on rights. Well, we shouldn't anyhow. We dont want to have to pass a test to exercise our 2nd amendment rights. Registering to vote is the test. A lot of people dont pass that one
The flip side is with rights comes responsibilities, like contributing to society. If you can vote for bread and circuses and 51% of the population decides that's the way to go, your country will never recover.
Then when 51% of the electoral states have a majority that wants to vote to confiscate the other 49%s wealth. The electoral college does not save us from the tipping point into democratic socialism.
