The West adopted universal male white suffrage primarily due to the Enlightenment ideals of individual rights and democracy, which emphasized equality and political participation. Economic changes, such as the rise of the middle class and industrialization, also pressured governments to expand voting rights to maintain legitimacy and stability. Additionally, social movements and political activism pushed for broader suffrage, reflecting the changing views on citizenship and governance during the 19th century. However, this expansion often excluded marginalized groups, highlighting the limitations of the suffrage movement.
