I'm not really sure about the right answer but...

In page 115 of 8th grade history textbook:

Under British rule, only free, white men that owned land could vote. Many states' constitutions expanded suffrage, or the right to vote, by allowing any white man who paid taxes to vote. In every state, however, only landowners could hold public office. Some states originally allowed women and free African Americans to vote, but these rights were soon taken away. Suffrage would not restored to these groups for decades to come.

(and on the bottom of that page they said)

New Jersey allowed women to vote when it first joined the United States. This right was taken away by 1807.

Hope the information will help you a little bit. Good luck.

The main similarity between the French and American revolutions were that in both cases a king had been the main power that was over thrown as rulers. The comparison was not totally accurate however. In the case of the American revolution, the British monarch remained in power of Britain's global empire.
