Question

How have voting rights expanded over time? (think about the groups of people and the 6% we originally started at)

Answer 1

Answer:

Over time, voting rights have been expanding in a notorious and fair way. Thus, initially, only white men with high purchasing power of legal age could exercise their right to vote. Subsequently, the economic requirement was abolished, allowing all white men to exercise this right.

After the Civil War, the northern states of the country allowed African Americans the right to vote, while the southern states exercised segregation over them. During the late 1800s and early 1900s, women, through feminist movements, obtained the right to participate in elections. Finally, African Americans consolidated their right to vote after the Voting Rights Act of 1965 was passed.
