Detailed explanation-1: -The 1828 presidential election was the first in which non-property-holding white males could vote in the vast majority of states. By the end of the 1820s, attitudes and state laws had shifted in favor of universal white male suffrage. Maryland passes a law to allow Jews to vote.
Detailed explanation-2: -Universal suffrage was established in 1840, which meant that women could vote. Opposition resulted in a specific denial of women’s suffrage in the 1852 constitution. After 1919 men could vote from the age of 24 while women only gained the right to vote from the age of 30.
Detailed explanation-3: -Expanded suffrage helped Jackson win the election of 1828 because more people were able to vote now, of multiple different groups, helping Andrew Jackson by giving him more votes.
