Answer 2

Universal adult franchise is also referred to as universal suffrage. Universal suffrage was first meant to refer only to male suffrage. Once women gained the right to vote all around the world, the term applied to all adults. In America, universal adult franchise grew in the 19th century. Property requirements were removed for voting. After the American Civil War when slaves were free, adult black males were allowed to vote.
