Under the U.S. Constitution, voting requirements and limitations are state matters. Thus, in the country’s first seventy-five years of existence, states, had control over who voted (with suffrage seen as a privilege of citizenship and not as a right belonging to every man). Until the 1820s, most states still had some form of property requirement as property holding was seen as ensuring a person’s commitment to that community and awareness of and interest in its decisions. And, of course, they limited voting to men. Also, they could (and did) allow immigrants to vote
Amendments to the Constitution were needed to limit the states’ control. See:
