AP Test Prep: The Expansion of Suffrage

Voting rights are voting rights, in a sense American history is a story that expanded this. Founder people are extremely cautious of democracy because they understand democracy and believe that only real people should comment on who is managing the government. The voting rights of the early Republic were limited to owners of white men. From the 1790s to the 1920s, the state passed a new constitution to remove these real estate qualifications. The result was seen soon. In 1824 I did vote in less than 400,000 Americans, but this figure exceeded 1 million in 4 years.

African Americans are excluded from the franchise; even the free black north of the North is not allowed to vote before the Civil War. The 15 th revision (1870) prohibits federal government and state from denying voting rights under "conditions of race, color, or previous slavery". However, in the south, literacy tests, population taxes and grandfather provisions were used to rob the majority of African-American citizenship. The voting struggle in the south continued until the 20th century, and the Supreme Court, the Congress (Voting Rights Act of 1965), and the constitutional revision of the final prohibition on population (No. 24 revision, 1964) were held. Voting is also a top priority in the agenda of the women's rights movement.

The term "gender" was added to the 15 th revision, but it did not succeed, but by 1910 the women's suffrage was dominated by the West by state law. On the day before adoption of the 19 th revision (1920) all concessions were expanded to all women and only 20 states refused women's participation in the election process.

The other two modifications are important to expand the voting rights. In 1913, with the 17th amendment, the right to elect a senator to a qualified voter was granted more than the state legislature. Senate direct elections abolished the last anti-democratic will of the Constitution. With some exceptions, one exception is that the voting age in the United States is set to 21 years. For example, this age is recognized in section 4 of the 14 th revision. In the early 1970s, the controversy continued as the Vietnam War triggered protests from young people. The 26 th revision (1971) lowers the voting age to 18 years old.

Even with this expansion, the ballots in the United States are far from universal elections. Nonetheless, the expansion of the voting qualification doubled the number of people eligible for voting. Expansion also changed citizens who voted. It now includes a vote for the governor and the presidential election. It uses direct voting instead of group legislators. This expansion shaped the future flow of history from the next president (Andrew Jackson) to the women's suffrage in the 1920s and the right to vote for African Americans.

August 26, 2015 is the 95th anniversary of the female election - this is the greatest democratic expansion on any day in our history. The American Jews are firmly committed to our rights as citizens and have played an active role in the struggle for voting rights; an important part of our history deserves a better understanding .

In the 1860s, people opposed to women's vicarious rights began to organize in the region. Massachusetts is home to one of the first states to organize top-ranking suffrage advocacy groups and anti-election groups. In the 1880s, activists against the voting rights united, eventually became known as the Massachusetts Institute, opposed further expansion of women's voting rights.
