Explanation:

The passage states that voting rights were not addressed in the original U.S. Constitution, and instead each state was given authority to create its own suffrage laws. This directly supports the claim that the original Constitution had no national voting rules.

Answer:

"That right was not included in the original U.S. Constitution. Each state was allowed to write its own laws about suffrage."
