denied the rights of citizens who lived in England
It has been said that rights are either absolute, or do not exist at all. Meaning that unless a right is always present, and applies to everyone, it is not a right but a privilege. Privileges can be granted or taken away, rights cannot. From this perspective - if rights are denied to a minority then they are really being denied to everyone.
The United States Constitutions posits that states which refuse to give the right to vote to any of its citizens can be denied representation in the House of Representatives. Yet, despite this clause within the Constitution, African-Americans were denied suffrage in the 1960's. This clause has never been enacted.
People that meet all of the qualifications, but can not vote are people that have convicted serious crimes and have not yet served their sentence. (I looked it up in my World Civics Book!)--You're Welcome!
