Your history is off center. In many instances after the founding of our nation, women were allowed to vote.
The idea that only property holders should be allowed the vote is non-sense. Citizenship and resident requirements should be the only requirement for voting in the United States but the idea that a person who rents or leases or even lives in a homeless shelter shouldn’t be able to vote runs counter to the American spirit.

Sorry, but it is your history that is off center.
There was a debate between those who wanted a representative republic and those, like Jefferson, who wanted a mobocracy. Early on, the republicans won, and the states limited the franchise accordingly.
Universal sufferage is not and never has been a legitimate component of the American Spirit. Even Jefferson drew the line at extending the vote to women and children as we have done today.
The only reason that Klintstone was elected twice is because people are allowed to vote who shouldn’t be.
