Expanding Democracy

Question 10 • (MACS) 2021 NY-US History CR Summer Quarter 1

Which of the following was an economic event that led to an expansion of voting rights in the US?

Answer
A
the Panic of 1819
B
the War of 1812
C
the campaign of 1828
D
the “corrupt bargain” of 1824

Explanation

The Panic of 1819 was a severe economic depression that caused widespread debt and hardship. In its aftermath, many states reconsidered property requirements for voting, expanding suffrage to more white men who did not own property. The War of 1812 and the political events of 1824 and 1828 were not economic crises of this kind.
