What reform to voting procedures followed the Panic of 1819?
Answer (2)
Following the panic of 1819, there were several reforms to voting procedures. The most notable of which is surely the fact that electors would now be decided through the popular vote of citizens. Attention had now been drawn to the fact that better preparations needed to be in place for both debt relief and poor relief.
Following the Panic of 1819, reforms to voting procedures included the abolition of property qualifications for voting, allowing more white males to participate in elections. This shift toward universal white manhood suffrage was largely driven by the economic distress experienced by many and the desire for broader political representation. By the late 1820s, these reforms had significantly transformed the electoral landscape in the United States.
