Answer 1

The correct option is B S1: False, S2: True, S3: True

During the eighteenth century, voting rights were not enjoyed by all men and women. In revolutionary France, Suffrage was extended only to men who owned property. Non-propertied men and women were excluded from political rights. For a brief period, under the Jacobins, voting rights were extended to all adult males, but women were again excluded from such rights. Once more, under Napoleon, voting rights were given only to property-owning men.
