D) native Americans

Answer 1

The answer is A) white men.

Answer 2

The correct answer is A) white men.

The group that received the right to vote according to many new western state constitutions was "white men."

In 1792, Kentucky was the first state to abolish property requirements in order to vote. The last one was North Carolina in 1856. Most of the white American people voted in the election of 1828. By 1868, the 14th Amendment to the United States Constitution guarantees citizenship to all men born or naturalized in the US.
