Answer 1

"Originally, only White men who owned land could vote, while now any U.S. citizen can vote."

Explanation: Voting was initially limited by race, gender, and property; over time constitutional amendments and laws (15th, 19th, 24th, 26th Amendments, Voting Rights Act, etc.) expanded the franchise to include non‑property owners, Black Americans, women, young adults, and all citizens (including naturalized).
