All of the following were a result of universal manhood suffrage EXCEPT:
  1. The rising popularity of political parties
  2. The increasing combination of politics and entertainment through parades and rallies
  3. A decline in concerns about citizenship for newly arrived immigrants
  4. A dramatic increase in the number of people who voted
  5. National conventions
Explanation
Answer: C - Universal manhood suffrage did not precipitate a decrease in the anti-immigrant sentiments that dominated the era, and concerns about newly-arrived immigrants having too strong a political voice would continue throughout the 19th century. Universal manhood suffrage increased the number of voters and the presence of politics in popular culture, blurring the line between politics and entertainment. National conventions also arose as political participation increased.
