The primary reason people began to demand an end to property requirements for voting in 1819 was that **the value of property had dropped considerably due to an economic crisis**. The economic turmoil, particularly following the Panic of 1819, led many individuals to lose their property or see its value decline, which in turn excluded them from voting. As a result, there was a growing movement advocating for broader suffrage rights to allow a larger segment of the population, particularly those who were disenfranchised due to property ownership requirements, to have a voice in the political process.
