Who could vote in 1828?

Answer 1

When the country was founded, in most states, only white men with real property (land) or sufficient wealth for taxation were permitted to vote. Freed African Americans could vote in four states.

Answer 2

In 1787, after the federal constitution was passed, it was up to states to determine who could vote. This varied from state to state - in Philadelphia for instance, all free white men could vote regardless of wealth. In New Jersey, for a short period, it was possible for rich women and freedmen to vote. In general, the factors used to restrict voting were property, amount of taxes paid, race, age, and gender. At this time, around 6% of the population could vote.
