Suffrage during French revolution : right to vote

Suffrage: the right to vote

During the French Revolution,  which resulted the first political experiment in liberal democracy,  the right to vote and to get elected was granted exclusively to
-property-owning men.
The suffrage was not given to
- Men without property and
-all women were excluded from political rights.

But only  for a brief  period under the Jacobins did all adult males enjoy suffrage. However, the Napoleonic Code went back to limited suffrage and reduced women to the status of a minor, subject to the authority of  fathers and husbands

Throughout the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries women and non-propertied men organised opposition movements demanding equal political rights.
