Answer 1

It all started back in 1776. Back then only people who owned land could vote. Then in 1787 it changed and the state got to decide who could vote. Then in 1790 it was decided that only white people could vote. But these were only "free white men" so immigrants that were "free". Then in 1856 the voting right got expanded to all white men. Then in 1870 the 15th amendment was passed, which stated that no matter what color, all men could vote. By 1920 women were also allowed to vote. Anyway I hope this helps!
