"I have already observed that universal suffrage has been adopted in all the states of the Union;... I have had opportunities of observing its effects in different localities and among races of men who are nearly strangers to each other in their language, their religion, and their modes of life; in Louisiana as well as in New England, in Georgia as in Canada. I have remarked that universal suffrage is far from producing in America either all the good or all the evil consequences which may be expected from it in Europe, and that its effects generally differ very much from those which are attributed to it."

The answer is C) because The 15th and 19th amendments had not been passed yet, which makes de-Tocqueville's conclusion incorrect. Universal suffrage would mean that women and men of all races would be able to vote. The 15th amendment, passed after the Civil War, stated that voting could not be denied based on race. The 19th amendment stated that voting could not be denied based on gender. The focus is on suffrage and having the right to vote and is not focused on the ideas of direct democracy or the role of the electoral college which is why those are incorrect.\
