Answer:

Universal Suffrage

Step-by-step explanation:

Universal Suffrage means that all the adult persons have been given the right to vote irrespective of their income, wealth, race gender, social status. Earlier in 19th century Britain Universal suffrage meant the right to vote for all men, it didn't included women. In the first democracies the right to vote was restricted to the people with wealth and property. In many jurisdictions other restrictions also existed. In nineteenth century North America, great Britain and Europe witnesses the movement which demanded for universal male suffrage.
