Answer:

I believe its the property requirement.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the early 19th century, politicians began to reconsider the qualifications to vote. The property requirement was abolished in most states by 1825. White males over the age of 21 without criminal records were allowed to vote. In the election of 1824, approximately 27 of every 100 white men over the age of 21 voted. In the 1828 election, due largely to the efforts of Martin Van Buren and his political allies, many new voters joined the ranks. In this election, which brought Andrew Jackson into the Presidency, about 55 out of 100 men in this category were able to vote in the election. By 1840, this number would rise to 70 out of 100.

Hope this helps!

I believe the answer is: the education requirement
Prior to the election of 1825, American citizens were considered to be eligible for voting if they're literate (able to read)
The election of 1825 eliminated this requirement so the people who did not obtain proper education could also be represented in the government.
