The most important event was obviously the American Civil War from 1861-1865. This led to the 14th Amendment which defined a citizen as "any person born or naturalized in the US." The 13th Amendment abolished slavery, and the 15th Amendment prohibits denying the right to vote to someone because of their race.
Other key events include the Louisiana Purchase, the Texas Revolution, The Spanish-American War, the War of 1812, the purchase of Alaska, the Mexican Cession, the Indian Wars, and the California Gold Rush.
Like I said, the right to vote was extended to all male citizens by the 15th Amendment. Women were not given the right to vote until the 19th Amendment was passed in 1920.
The correct answer is where the royal power was weak or non-existent
Whenever there was a king that couldn't keep everyone in line, the local lords would band up on him or would become more and more independent and it would be difficult to control them since they would often work even with foreign powers against their own lords. This led to the downfall of numerous dynasties or emperors in Europe.
