enfranchisements
Grants of suffrage
Enfranchisements are acts of granting rights or freedoms, especially voting rights or citizenship.
The word appears in historical and legal contexts: The enfranchisements of formerly excluded groups transformed democratic participation.
In British property law, enfranchisement refers specifically to a leaseholder's right to purchase the freehold of their property.
