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.
