Growing Pains: The New Republic, 1790-1820 CITIZENSHIP DEFINED Men agreed on who qualified as a citizen and who did not, even while disagreements about the appropriate size and reach of the new national government divided Americans and gave rise to political parties. The 1790 Naturalization Act provided a clear definition of citizenship based on race. An immigrant had to be a "free White person" of "good character" in order to be considered a citizen of the United States Republic. The act established the basis for the United States as a republic of White males by denying citizenship to Black, Native American, and Asian individuals who were enslaved or free. There were limitations on full citizenship, which included the ability to vote. Only male taxpayers or property owners were allowed to vote under the provisions of several state constitutions. Except in the state of New Jersey, women were still denied the ability to vote. The ardor of the Revolution inspired revolutionaries in New Jersey to draft a constitution in 1776 that gave single women who held property valued at £50 the ability to vote. Democratic-Republicans and Federalists fought for the votes of New Jersey women who were eligible to vote. Up until 1807, when New Jersey limited voting to free White men, this daring invention persisted.
