No!

I think it should be limited to property owners.

One needs skin in the game.

I agree that you must own property and pay taxes to vote. Otherwise we have the problem we have now, the takers become the majority and vote to take everything. As far as 16 year olds voting I can see it now. Liberal High School teachers would require they vote by absentee ballot to be filled out in class and left for grading by the faculty in order to pass for the next grade. Of course the teacher would correct any “errors” and then make sure the forms are filed. Don’t laugh, I would not be surprised if it happened.

In colonial days: Free, White, Male, 21, and a property owner.

Well, of those 'free' is left as a constraint.
