At first, only wealthy white men who owned property could vote. Over time voting was expanded by laws and amendments — for example the U.S. 15th Amendment (1870) aimed to protect Black men's voting, the 19th Amendment (1920) gave women the vote, the Voting Rights Act (1965) removed many racial barriers, and the 26th Amendment (1971) lowered the voting age to 18.

At first only wealthy white men who owned property could vote. Over time the rules changed so more people could vote:
- 1870 (15th Amendment): Black men allowed to vote.
- 1920 (19th Amendment): women allowed to vote.
- 1965 (Voting Rights Act): many laws that blocked Black people from voting were removed.
- 1971 (26th Amendment): the voting age was lowered to 18.
