In the context of liberal nationalism, what did property-based suffrage mean?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Political rights and voting were limited mainly to men who owned property
Property-based suffrage means that the right to vote depended on owning a specified amount of property or paying a required level of tax. Liberal ideas supported legal equality and representative government, but early liberal systems were not fully democratic. Propertyless men and women were generally excluded. Thus option A is correct; the other choices describe universal voting, peasant rule or an unrelated social change.
