They tried to do that but Franklin among others argued with firm logic against it.
I will give you one example of why "you must own property to vote" is a bad idea. Bezos and Zuckerberg both own property, General Flynn does not. Who would you trust to vote in the best interests of the nation?
If you had to own property to vote, General Flynn probably would own property. I’ll tell you this, a LOT of D voters are renters. :)
