Most people were poor, and did either farming, fishing or making things. The richest people in an Indus city were probably people who owned a lot of land, or traders who controlled the buying and selling of luxury goods, such as rugs, jewels, minerals and metals. Rich traders loaded their goods on ships sailing off across the sea. They wore fine clothes, and lived in big houses with servants and perhaps slaves. Indus people did not use money. It's likely that wealth was measured by how much land a person had or how many cattle, or how many sacks of grain.

Which us citizens were the last to be given the right to vote for president and vice president?

Svetach [21]

Residents of Washington, DC

Further Explanation:

Voting rights that are given to the voters of Washington DC are different from voting rights that are provided under the constitution of the United States to voters of other 50 states of the US. According to the constitution, each state has one voting representation in each house of the Congress that is the Senate and House of Representatives but because of DC (District of Columbia) being a special federal district and not a state, is denied any representation in the house.

According to the US constitution, In the House of Representatives, A chosen delegate is the one who represents the district but he is not allowed or permitted to vote on the house floor on any matter or even in congressional committees. Residents of DC do not have any kind of representation in Senate but according to the twenty-third amendment which was adopted in the year 1961, The DC gets the same electoral votes as that of least populous state during the election for President and Vice President and they were the last who were given this right to vote during presidential elections.
