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

History

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.

Levart [38]

Answer:

2-It was bombed due to acts of war towards japan and  dropped a five-ton bomb over the Japanese city of Hiroshima.. And then three more days later nagasaki was bombed which killed tremendous amount of people

3-They accept defeat 10 days later and they had to because if they didn't they will drop more bombs  which encouraged them to accept defeat The surrender ceremony was held on September 2, aboard the United States Navy battleship, at which officials from the japanese government  signed the Japanese instrument of surrender

4-The Manhattan project was started because German scientists had been working on a weapon using nuclear technologies and that Adolf Hitler was prepared to use it.The Manhattan Project was the code name for the American-led effort to develop a functional atomic weapon during World War II

5-During that time president Truman was accountable for everything but his main focus was not to attack civilization/agriculture but was entitled to destroy Japan's  ability to make war.

6-No, they were not. The dropping of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima was justified at the time as being moral and this was not attended to using weapons knowing that it would kill civilians and destroy the urban milieu and it was clearly not mortal for the act of thought
