Explanation

Before 1820, voting rights were generally limited to white men who met property requirements, so A is correct; property ownership alone did not qualify everyone. Because women, most Black Americans, and many men without property could not vote, most people did not participate by voting, making D correct. Property requirements and unequal access to political power also meant wealthy people had the most influence, so E is correct.
