Describe how the expansion of the electorate occured in the united states, through the five suffrage stages.

julsineya [31]

The first stage was based on religion and ownership of property. At first, only those of certain religious beliefs could vote but this was abandoned quickly and also only those who owned property could vote but this was abandoned too and a huge number of voters got their suffrage rights as not you could be from any religious background and social class and still vote

The second expansion occurred after the civil war. Following the civil war, the electorate got increased when African-American people were given voting rights. Although racist states found ways to legally disenfranchise them and prevent them from voting, they still had voting rights in theory and those in free states practiced them.

The third expansion was when women were allowed to vote when the 19th amendment was ratified and women were allowed to vote in all states. Before that, women could not vote and now they could which means that the amount of possible votes doubled since there is almost the same number of women as there is of men.

The fourth expansion happened when the civil rights struggle occurred and laws were introduced to prevent disenfranchisement of African-Americans. This brought a lot of voters from southern states where voting was not possible for them in praxis since they had to pass tests or pay fees or similar things to vote

The fifth was later when youth was allowed to vote. It was established that states may not raise the minimum age requirement for voting over the age of 18, meaning that all states had to allow all voters age 18 and up to vote if they wanted to. This brought a lot of young voters since some states made it mandatory to have a minimum of 21 for example.

Why was President Wilson unable to implement all of his Fourteen Points in the Paris peace settlement?

Ira Lisetskai [31]

Three main reasons which resulted in the Failure of fourteen points in the Paris peace Conference are Necessity for reparations, Imperial competition and a desire for vengeance against Germany.

The Fourteen Points were a set of guiding ideals for peace, that was to be utilized for ending World War I. President Woodrow Wilson presented these ideas.

In the spring of 1919, 27 countries assembled to discuss this at the Paris Peace Conference.

Wilson’s ideas were seen as an ideal principle, however, were questioned by his principal Allied allies, including Vittorio Orlando of Italy, David Lloyd George of the United Kingdom, and Georges Clemenceau of France as:

Wilson’s illness at the beginning of the Paris peace conference, gave a chance to others, like French Prime Minister Georges Clemenceau, whose ideas were very different from that of Wilsons, They were confident that they could increase their gains from victory beyond what Wilson's strategy permitted.

The United States' closest allies, the British, considered Wilson's goals too ambitious for world peace.

And finally, The Germans outright rejected the Fourteen Points because they still believed they would win the war.
