Question

Why do you think that states dropped voting requirements for white men in the Early Republic? Why did those same states add new restrictions on women and African American men?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

The rise of political parties as the fundamental organizing unit of the Second (Two) Party System represented a sharp break from the values that had shaped Republican and Federalist political competition. Leaders in the earlier system remained deeply suspicious that parties could corrupt and destroy the young republic. At the heart of the new legitimacy of parties, and their forthright celebration of democracy, was the dramatic expansion of VOTING RIGHTS for white men.
