Answer:

A. Unjustified

Step-by-step explanation:

In the 1776 reading on Free Suffrage, the author asserts that restricting voting rights to people who owned land was "UNJUSTIFIED."

This is because by restricting the people who did not own land or property the voting rights are like being ruled by someone they have no choice in his emergence and at the same time as being own.

According to the author, if there is a restriction of voting rights to only people who owned land, then those without land and voting rights are not truly equal with the former. Hence, it is unjustified because. America was established based on having a government whereby they can have a choice and choose to decide who will govern them.
