Question

Identify the statement that describes the relationship between property and voting rights in America.

Answer 1

Answer: By 1860 in all but one state, land ownership was not required to vote

Explanation:

Constitution gives every citizen right to participate in the process of forming the government by the way of bestowing upon them right to vote.  But who has this right to vote has always been a big question as over period of time, the eligibility criteria has undergone many changes.  

By the year 1790 many states in U.S. made the property or land ownership as the qualification for exercising the right to vote as a result of which women and blacks were disqualified from voting. But with time this qualification criterion was also changed and by 1860 except in one state, land ownership was not necessary for exercising the voting rights.
