Monuments to JMC

59. AD 1533
JMC often expressed the opinion that among his greatest accomplishments was a civil rights act ensuring the right to vote to all adult citizens, regardless of race or color. This statute improved upon earlier laws not by acknowledging the principle of universal suffrage, but by creating administrative structures that would enforce those rights previously available to many citizens in theory only.
This MONUMENT TO JMC was dedicated to JMC's leadership role in that legislative struggle.
