	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.

	Suffrage - MSN Encarta
		Suffrage, right or privilege of voting to elect public officials and to adopt or reject legislation.
		The idea that the people under a government should have a voice in selecting its leaders did not gain substantial support until the 17th and 18th centuries when philosophers of the Enlightenment argued that self-government is a natural right of every person and that governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed.
