When the colonies were first established white men who owned land were allowed to vote. In some colonies they also had to be a member of the primary religion of that colony. It wasn't until 1920 with the passage of the 19th amendment that women were allowed to vote and not until the 1965 voting rights act that black citizens were given their full and equal rights of voting. Former slaves were given citizenship rights after the civil war, but kept from voting by various means for nearly 100 years. So, white men have always had the right to vote in the United States.

Who are the people that are allowed to vote in the Victorian time?

During the Victorian era in Britain, voting rights were limited primarily to property-owning men. The Reform Acts of 1832, 1867, and 1884 gradually expanded the electorate, allowing more men, particularly from the middle class, to vote, but women and the working class remained largely disenfranchised. Ultimately, only those who met certain property qualifications were permitted to participate in elections. Women did not gain the right to vote until the early 20th century.

Why could women and poor men still not vote after the Reform Act of 1832?

The Reform Act of 1832 primarily aimed to address the representation issues in Parliament by redistributing seats and extending the vote to more men, particularly from the middle class. However, it did not grant suffrage to women or to many poorer men, as it maintained property qualifications that required voters to own a certain amount of land or property. This meant that while some middle-class men gained the right to vote, large segments of the population, including all women and many working-class men, remained excluded from the electoral process. Consequently, the act fell short of achieving universal suffrage, reflecting the prevailing social and political attitudes of the time.
