At the Constitutional Convention, delegates largely left voter eligibility to the states, resulting in varied practices across the nation. Generally, the criteria for voting were determined by state legislatures, which commonly restricted the franchise to white male property owners. This decision reflected the prevailing social and economic norms of the time, prioritizing property rights and stability over broader democratic inclusion. Ultimately, the Constitution did not specify voter eligibility, allowing states to maintain control over this critical aspect of electoral participation.

No. When the members of the Constitutional Convention discussed American citizens voting, they deliberately left the question of voting eligibility to the states. They did not decide on men or women, black or white. That was a question for the states. One criticism of the constitution was that it did not prevent a woman from becoming president.

Most often a primary is used to directly decide a candidate at the state and local level. To decide a party's candidate for President, states may use a variety of means -- chiefly primaries and caucuses -- to choose delegates to a national convention. These delegates, often pledged to a particular candidate, will choose the party's national candidate. (A state party may also hold its own convention of local delegates to choose the party's delegates to the national convention.)Study island answer: Polls
