Who were granted the right to vote in France during the period of revolution ?
In France, the right to vote and election was granted only to property-owning men. Men without property and all women were excluded from political rights. During the period of Jacobins, all adult males were granted right to vote. The Napoleonic Code again granted limited right to vote. Women were reduced to the status of a minor, subject to the authority of fathers and husbands. Women and non-propertied men organised opposition movements demanding equal political rights during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
