What was the limitation of universal male suffrage in 1848?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: It gave adult men the right to vote but excluded women
Universal male suffrage was an important democratic expansion because it extended voting rights to adult men, but the word “male” identifies its limitation. Women were still excluded from formal political participation and could not vote in the elections created by the revolutionary changes. Thus option C is correct. Option A reverses the fact, B is absurdly narrow, and D incorrectly claims that elections disappeared.
