Suffrage Reform Mentioned as Retrograde Step
A historical remark denounces a current suffrage test as unjust and unnecessary. It recalls CT's colonial charter and 1818 constitution, noting property requirements once used, later removed, and argues the state has prospered with universal literacy and political rights. The author warns this marks a retrograde movement in voting rights.
