Topic: Census suffrage


In the News (Sat 11 Oct 08)

  
  Suffrage - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Universal suffrage is a counterintuitive term that does not actually apply to all citizens or residents of a region, but the extension of voting privileges is given without distinction to race, sex, belief, or social status.
Women's suffrage was the goal of suffragists (commonly referred to as "Suffragettes"), who led a major Liberal and Democratic movement of the early 20th century, protesting vigorously for many years demanding equality with men and the right to vote.
Equal suffrage is a term sometimes confused with Universal suffrage, although its meaning is the removal of graded votes, where a voter could possess a number of votes in accordance with income, wealth or social status.

 Lalor, Cyclopaedia of Political Science, V.3, Entry 220, STATES: Library of Economics and Liberty
While the constitution of the United States requires a decennial census, which is at intervals so far removed as greatly to lesson its value in a rapidly growing country but few of the states have made provision for taking a state census in intermediate years.
