During the French Revolution, a distinction was made for a time between active and passive citizens. In 1791, the Legislative Assembly was chosen by a process of indirect election
Explanation:
- Property owners only have voting rights extended. This was reflective of the belief that those who took part in decisions made for society as a whole & who demonstrated that they could handle their affairs would only qualify for political participation .
- 3 categories were set up to divide the French citizens: Active Citizens, Passive Citizens, & the Electors. The only members of society who could vote were the those who paid a "certain amount of taxes". Both active citizens and electors paid tax and hence were eligible to vote
- Passive Citizens were those citizens who had no voting rights or property rights. Women in France were considered as passive citizens and hence had no voting rights
- Also, in France, nationality law of 1889 prohibited those who by naturalization or marriage acquired French nationality from voting,
