- cOnly men with a certain income or wealthBara män med en viss inkomst eller förmögenhetCorrect answer
- dAll Swedish citizens who had turned 15Alla svenska medborgare som hade fyllt 15 år
Why?
The reform replaced the old Riksdag of the Estates, so the nobility and the clergy lost their special power. But only men with enough money or property could vote, and women could not vote at all.
