In the United States voting rights expanded to cover all white men. Up until this point, suffrage depended on whether a person was a property owner. The theory was that if they didn't own property, they could be influenced, and their vote might be compromised. In actuality, American's political elite didn't believe the average working American had the intelligence of the wealthy.
