How did voting requirements change in the 1800’s

ANTONII [103]

I may be wrong, but I do believe this may have to do with Andrew Jackson's election, and the voting requirements changed because you no longer had to own property or be wealthy to vote. The common, free white man could vote.

What did the fall of the Berlin Wall symbolize? The end of communism in Germany The fall of all communist countries The control

Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

The fall of all communist countries

Explanation:

The Berlin Wall was a physical border set in the city of Berlin which was dividing the communist and democratic part of it. The people were not able to communicate, move between the two sides, or even see each other. The wall was set by the Soviets, and it represented very well how their politics was. When this wall finally was taken down after three decades, it meant that Germany was united again, and that the communism came to an end in the country. The symbolism of the fall of the Berlin Wall though is much wider, and it not only symbolizes the end of communism in Germany, but across most of the world, as it coincided with the period when the Soviet Union was falling apart and numerous countries got independent, free to make their own decisions, and become democratic societies.
