Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is B. At the founding of the country, voting was a right granted to white, landowning men. Different activists from different eras in history worked hard to expand and protect voting rights for African-Americans, women and other formerly excluded groups.

The right to vote, at first, was only guaranteed to a minority of the population of the United States: only those white people, with high purchasing power, of the male gender.

Thus, both poor, blacks and women were unable to exercise this right to vote. Later, with historical milestones such as the Civil War, the feminist movement or the Civil Rights Movement, these people were progressively acquiring rights, including the right to vote.
