In the 1800s, voting rights were determined by states, leading to laws disenfranchising voters, while changes required federal approval and the Constitution did not ensure voting rights for all citizens.
States passed laws to disenfranchise voters in the 1800s, as voting rights were determined by the states rather than the federal government in that era. The Constitution did not guarantee voting rights to all citizens initially, leading to restrictions based on race, sex, and other factors until amendments expanded suffrage. The Supreme Court did not make most decisions regarding voting laws, and states needed federal approval to make changes to voting laws.
