Who was allowed to vote when the US Constitution was written only those born on US soil all white citizens only Protestant men white land-owning males?
When the US Constitution was written, voting was primarily limited to white land-owning males. This group included Protestant men, but not exclusively, as some non-Protestant landowners could also vote. The right to vote was not extended to women, enslaved individuals, or free Black citizens at the time. Thus, the voting population was quite restricted compared to modern standards.
