Universal Male Suffrage means any adult male can vote no matter what they’re religion, race, or social status a.k.a. property and tax payments are. This itself was a revolution, it was a step towards a truly democratic government. They helped give people a sense of fighting against any monarchy because that system oppressed these developing democratic rights.
