The Limited Citizenship Rights Before the American Revolution
This chapter explores the limited citizenship rights granted to certain white men before the American Revolution and how property ownership created a distinction between the head of the household and his dependents. It discusses the replacement of the English aristocracy with a republic controlled by white property-owning men, and the decision faced by the men in charge of the new United States regarding gender equality.
