for the american revolution
The new country transitioned from a period of being under the British rule to developing its own government. After the failure of the Articles of Confederation, the country adopted the United States Constitution in 1787. Article 1 of the Constitution empowers state legislatures to oversee federal rights. Suffrage or the right to vote was granted exclusively to white , land owning men and since they were at such an early stage of the republic, the founders believed these men’s economic ties to the country were valuable. And the people who did not hold any land were not allowed to vote. However, a growing number of men began to champion an expansion of suffrage during the early 1800.
