Universal Suffrage was the single biggest mistake

which allowed further progression in to more socialism and it's various super tools and enablers like the FED.

I am not sure how or why it happened exactly. Sure, land ownership is not sufficient qualifier for moral courage like voluntary military service is (you have to put everything on the line).

Maybe that is why it degraded? Land owners needed more soldiers for their political pet projects. So they came with conscription and to sooth the masses gave them suffrage in return. Including almost all men. Those got nagged by their wives and mainly sneaky politicians who smelled opportunity......and thus universal suffrage was born.

There is always more irresponsible or responsibility averse people or people seeking higher status, which politicians of socialist kind kindly offer. Before long everyone is playing the game for the most votes and promises fly around in disregard for future. Few profit on this ponzi scheme, many see their accounts robbed (inflation and other forms of taxation) and the rest is taken for the easy ride.

Democracy -> Socialism -> Tyranny -> Collapse

How modern is the idea of universal suffrage?

In the last season of game of thrones, Samwell Tarly suggests voting rights for all and everyone laughingly dismisses it. How absurd would the idea be in such a setting? Did anybody ever attempt to create a full democracy in medieval Europe? Is it realistic that it would occur to a β€œhighborn” to get the peasants involved in ruling?

How modern is the idea of universal suffrage? We hear about democracy since the time of Ancient Greece. But were there any activists for women’s voting rights back then?

I would like to know how these concepts on voting rights evolved through time on popular opinion in Europe

Many women could already vote across most of the United States long before universal women's suffrage was passed in 1920

Here's a list of US states and the status of women's suffrage in 1919 before it was ratified at a federal level:

For context, universal male suffrage was granted in 1870, one year after the first US territory gave universal suffrage to women.

He advocated for the separation of church and state, universal suffrage, the abolition of slavery, and an early kind of socialism.

Are there any downsides to Universal Suffrage?

It is generally held in democratic societies that universal voting is a right afforded to everyone. Traditionally, however, there have been limits on voting (land ownership, position in society, gender, race, etc) that have limited voting to a select few. It has been the progression of these societies to break down these barriers and promote universal suffrage.

What effect, if any, does the level of universal suffrage have on the overall cohesiveness of a society? Are there any negative aspects to universal suffrage, or are the results always beneficial?

Is it a coincidence that movements like abolitionism, civil rights, universal suffrage, feminism, gay rights and so on all seem to have become such major social forces in roughly the last 100-200 years, or is there some broader explanation for this dramatic shift in morality, law, etc?

Obviously, these things all existed in some form at various points throughout history, and none of them is today universal or complete. But looking back at the 1800s from the 2000s, it's impossible not to see the dramatic shift in so many places - slavery is illegal, women can vote, same-sex couples can marry, among many other related changes. Generally speaking, it seems like the unifying idea behind these issues is the pursuit of equality as a foundational principle of a just society - and yet this idea seems not to have existed for most of human history. Why did these things start more or less at the same time, make so much progress so relatively quickly, and why now?
