Why did all men not get voting rights in 1791?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Voting rights were limited to active citizens who met the tax-payment requirement

The Constitution of 1791 did not grant voting rights to every adult man. Only men aged 25 years or above who paid direct taxes equal to at least three days’ wages were classified as ‘active citizens’. Poor men remained ‘passive citizens’ and could not vote. Exam tip: Remember the 1791 French Constitution for limited franchise and the division between active and passive citizens.
