Question

When the US Constitution was written only white males could vote.



Answer 1

I'm not sure what your question actually is. This statement is technically correct, but not entirely. Not all white males were able to vote at that time.

Answer 2

Well there are multiple thoughts to this. In formal writing, the term male can refer to both male and female, not simply male. So the Constitution was interpreted that male meant males only. The original requirement to vote, which was established by the States determined age, and property value own. So not only males, only certain males could vote.
