"The people" were originally White, Property-owning Males over 21. They were the only ones that could originally vote. The property owning portion will almost completely be gone by 1828 (this is what helped Andrew Jackson get elected).

For these reasons, Japan expanded tremendously around Asia and the Pacific, taking the Dutch East Indies during WWII.
