African Americans were often excluded from the voting because they did not own land or pay the taxes required of voters. They were sometimes excluded from voting with the use of laws that excluded them.
how did AfricanAmericans rights change before, during, and after reconstruction?
In 1776, voting rights in America were largely restricted to white male property owners. Each colony had its own voting laws, but generally, women, enslaved individuals, and non-property owners were excluded from the electoral process. Additionally, some colonies had religious restrictions that further limited who could vote. The concept of universal suffrage was not yet recognized at that time.
Athenian democracy developed around the fifth century BC in the Greek city-state .... Also excluded from voting were citizens whose rights were under suspension ..... of democracy: 'it distributes a sort of equality to equal and unequal alike'.
The difference between preferential voting and proportional representation voting is that in proportional representation voting more than one member can be elected for each electorate but in preferential voting only one member can be elected for each electorate. XOXO

excluded both blacks and wealthy whites from voting
It outlawed discriminatory voting practices against African Americans. Some states had previously excluded legitimate black voters by means of a literacy test, etc. This became unlawful with the Voting Rights Act which forbade any and all discriminatory qualifications.
AfricanAmericans to gain equal rights
Each state has different voting laws. Several states do exclude incarcerated prisoners to vote such as Kentucky and Louisiana. Some states do allow voting in national, state, and local elections. People with mental illnesses can vote if they are able too. Any U.S citizen that has been told they can't vote needs to find an attorney.
Jacksonian democracy actually excluded these groups from voting rights. Andrew Jackson's presidency promoted the expansion of suffrage to white males regardless of property ownership, but did not extend voting rights to blacks, Native Americans, or women. This period was characterized by increased political participation and the rise of the common man in American politics.
The plurality system actively serves to exclude any idea which does not appeal to the "average" or "centralist" voter. As a result, many views are excluded. This is an infringement of the liberty of all those citizens to have their views at least publically aired by a possible representative. The United States is a country that has a plurality voting system and a good example of how views are excluded includes those opposed to continual war in Afghanistan. Of the two parties, neither caters to this desire, even though it is quite a common sentiment in the US.
An antonym for "excluded" would be "included".
Because the people who are not excluded do not benefit from the input of those who were excluded.
