Amendment 19
Both prior to and after the Revolutionary War, only white, male property owners over the age of 21 were entitled to suffrage. Between 1820 and 1840, most states repealed property holder qualifications for voting. At this point, only black slaves, Native Americans and women continued to be denied the right to vote.
During that time period, voting qualifications were a hotly contested topic. At the time, there was a simple rule: if you were a male, and owned property, you could vote. The Federalist and the Anti-Federalists both had opposing viewpoints on the issue. The Anti-Federalists, made up mostly of farmers and working men and led by Thomas Jefferson, wanted the qualifications to be lowered so that any male who could read could vote, thus making sure that the will of the people was reflected. The Federalists on the other hand, made up of well-to-do business owners and lead by Alexander Hamilton, wanted them increased so that only an elite group could vote, thus insuring that the vote was made by informed, intelligent people.
It was a monarchy - there was no voting.

Individual state may set any qualifications they choose for voting as long as those qualifications are not in conflict with the United States Constitution or Federal Laws. Most qualifications involve timeliness of registering.
