Who decides the qualifications for voting, and who could vote in the early 1800's?

Voting is a difficult process in America during 1800s due to racial and gender inequality that were prevalent at those times. Rich land owners determined the voting process.

Explanation:

During 1800, there was slavery and many supported slavery. This limited the voting rights of the people. Women were considered to be subordinate and insignificant to enjoy civil rights. They were restricted civil liberties and not given the right of enfranchisement.  

Land owners and socially rich and wealthy people were the ones who decided voting in 1800s. Women suffrage movements were led by many female abolitionists who protested for the rights that were to be granted to women.
