White land holding men over 21 could vote.

Prove they could succeed in politics.
The settlers in the charter colonies elected their own governors and the members of the legislature. Great Britain had the right to approve the governor, but the governor could not veto the acts of the legislature.
The prices varied from abut $400 on up to several thousand. $400=£266.7596 $1,000=£666.899

Sorry about the guy before this he completely gave the wrong answer. To vote for an elected official of the Virginia House of Burgesses you needed to own land and be male. Females couldn't vote, nor could slaves.EDIT: AND BE 17 OR OLDER
It was the Virginia Company that paid for the voyage to Jamestown, and could overrule the House of Burgesses. The company was chartered by James I.
Each Virginia settlement or plantation was allowed to elect 2 burgesses, usually wealthy landowners.

Yes, a Speaker is an elected Congressman (or Congresswoman) who is then chosen by the House majority party. There are several cases where the sitting Speaker failed to be re-elected in their home district, and could not remain Speaker once their term expired.
They could, almost certainly.The habitat is similar to their habitat in Australia.
Please rewrite. We don't know when " back then" is. It could be 10 or a 100 years.

Because house members are elected every two years, they wind up being very close to their constituents and must listen to what their constituents say or risk not being re-elected. Additionally, when the US was founded, Senators, Presidents, and Supreme Court Justices were appointed by other politicians, but Congressmen in the House were elected by direct popular vote. This made them more clearly representative of the public will.
The people and the electors voted in 1824 but could not reach a decision, so the election was decided by the House of Representatives in February, 1825.
