who was allowed to vote in 1912?

Question

this is my english research homework
dont give me a any rubbish answers please!

Answer 1

Only white men who owned property were trusted, and even they weren't trusted all that much. They couldn't choose their own senators by direct vote, for instance, until 1912. They weren't allowed to vote for their choice of president, either, but only for the electors who DO choose the president; today they still can't, and neither can the rest of us.

By 1847, most states allowed any white man, with or without property, to vote, but it took the Civil War and the 15th Amendment to the Constitution before black men could. The exact wording of that amendment, incidentally, was "The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude," but I guess nobody believed that women were American citizens. Not until 1920, after a lot of campaigning and marching and hunger strikes, did the 19th amendment grant women the vote.

Answer 2

White men were allowed to vote- it's almost always been like that, Black men got the right with the 15th amendment, women however could not, the 19th amendment had not been passed jet, at least I don't think it had. Sorry if I'm wrong I would research that some if it is your research paper.

Answer 3

It was not women. :o) Check for when Amendments to the Constitution were passed to find your answer. When were Blacks and women given the right to vote? That's where you will find the answer.

Good Luck!
