Briefly explain ONE specific historical effect of the change in voting rights for white men illustrated in the maps. c. Briefly explain ANOTHER specific historical effect of the change in voting rights for white men illustrated in the maps.
Solution
Verifieda.) The expansion of voting rights for white men spread in the 1810s as reformers argued that property qualifications for voters were a form of tyranny that gave one class of men more power than another. Broader voting criteria spread gradually throughout the states.
b.) The spread of voting rights allowed more men from the middle and lower classes to vote in their own interests. This meant that "notables," who previously dominated politics, now competed with middle class lawyers and journalists for office.
c.) Andrew Jackson's ability to win the election in 1828 was the result of widespread voting rights; he was able to appeal to a class of people who previously would not have been able to make their voice heard.
