suffrage in the US expanded with the 15th, 19th, and 26th ammendments, which were for African Americans, women, and young adults (18-21), respectively.
The US has one of the most universal ideals of suffrage, if not the most in the world- it includes every citizen, regardless of color or gender, and it allows the right to vote even to new adults, unlike other countries (especiallythe Middle East and Asia), where suffrage is limited to native males.
