1. Use the chart to respond to the question below.

During the Age of Jackson, the social situation in the United States can be described as more egalitarian in terms of who had voting rights, as almost all white men were included. In contrast, Europe had a more exclusive voting system where wealthy men and certain privileged classes had rights, often dictated by nobility or monarchy.

The best statement to describe the social situation of the United States compared to that of Europe is:

In the United States, almost all white men had voting rights and were expected to be treated with respect regardless of wealth, while in Europe, voting rights were limited to wealthy men, and ordinary people often expected to be looked down upon by the wealthy.

This reflects the differences in attitudes toward social class privilege and the general treatment of individuals based on wealth in the two regions.
