Israel Nelson · Answer 1

d. were not required in any of the states after the original thirteen.

Explanation:

During colonial voting, there used to be property requirements. In some colonies, the requirement was for the voter to be the owner of a specific amount of land or some land of a particular value. Others required personal property of a specific value or payment of a specific amount of taxes. However, property restrictions slowly disappeared in the 19th Century. At first, tax-paying requirements instead of property ownership were necessary, even though these also disappeared after the 1820s. After the original thirteen, the majority of economic barriers to voting were inexistent.
