"The write to vote was not always a universal right". Explain with example.
Answers
Explanation:
Once upon a time, the right to vote was not universal.
For example, today, you cannot vote if you are under eighteen, or if you aren’t a citizen, or if you have been convicted of certain felonies… and that’s only in the USofA. There are many countries in the world where the right to vote is restricted more than that.
Universal means everyone, EVERYONE gets to vote.
I can’t think of anywhere that has voting as a universal right.
We may think the current restrictions are reasonable. This was also true of restrictions like the requirement to be white, or to be male, or to be a land owner… people at the time thought, by and large, that these restrictions were reasonable.
What, 50 or a hundred years from now, might history think of our current list of restrictions? Can you imagine? They didn’t even allow dolphins to vote at all!
In the U.S. Constitution, it was originally given to the states to define who could vote. This in general led to voting being limited to males with property. In 1790, white voters, who were born outside the U.S., could become voters. In 1792 to 1838, black male voters lost the right vote, as did women, who had previously been allowed in some states.
