In the 18th century, voting was largely restricted to white, property-owning males, excluding vast segments of the population. Women, enslaved individuals, and free Black men were typically denied the right to vote in most places. Additionally, men without property, regardless of their race, were often excluded from the electoral process. This limited franchise reflected the social and economic hierarchies of the time.
