Electorate Property

Introduction to Electorate Property

Historically, property has been a persistent test of admittance into the electorate. The gradual relinquishment of property ownership criteria marked the evolution of the franchise in Great Britain and the United States. The influence of the frontier and the growth of the power of organized labor were important factors in the elimination of property qualifications in the United States.” (1)
