Definición

  • THE CONSTITUTION OF the United States did not specify any qualification guidelines for voters, leaving the states to define the franchise for federal elections to the House of Representatives by applying the qualifications requisite in each state to vote for “the most numerous Branch of the State Legislature.” Although there were no national voting qualifications, five amendments to the U.S. Constitution disallowed states from limiting suffrage in certain ways.
