Answer 1

The correct option is C The voters, not the state legislatures, chose the electors.

In the election of 1828 however, all white males were able to vote. Also in the election of 1828 most states either reduced or abolished property requirement for voting. this allowed for almost all white males to be able to vote. Changes in voting weren't only changes going on. There were also changes in the ways campaigns were run and changes in beliefs.
