Detailed explanation-1: -By about 1860, most white men without property were enfranchised. But African Americans, women, Native Americans, non-English speakers, and citizens between the ages of 18 and 21 had to fight for the right to vote in this country.
Detailed explanation-2: -The right to suffrage, as a human right, is related to the concept of democracy and people’s sovereignty.
