A quick definition of enfranchise:

Term: ENFRANCHISE

Definition: Enfranchise means to give someone the right to vote or to be a citizen. It can also mean to set someone free from slavery.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Enfranchise (verb) means to grant voting rights or other rights of citizenship to a person or group. It can also mean to set free, as from slavery.

  • After years of fighting for their rights, women were finally enfranchised and given the right to vote.
  • The Civil Rights Act of 1964 enfranchised African Americans and ended segregation in public places.
  • Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation enfranchised slaves and set them free from bondage.

The examples illustrate how enfranchisement can be used to grant rights and freedoms to individuals or groups who have been historically marginalized or oppressed. In the first example, women were granted the right to vote after a long struggle for equality. In the second example, African Americans were given equal rights under the law and the ability to participate fully in society. In the third example, slaves were set free from bondage and given the opportunity to live as free citizens. Enfranchisement is a powerful tool for promoting equality and justice.

There’s someone I found on here with the username threeoutchange and if my understanding is correct that’s a reference to the debut album by a pretty cool 90s-00s Japanese band called Supercar. I geeked a little
