Question

Which of the following developments was made possible by the passage of the Twenty-Sixth Amendment?

Answer 1

B. All people drafted to fight in the Vietnam war became eligible to vote.

Step-by-step explanation:

Twenty sixth Amendment prohibited the federal and state government from using age as a factor to deny the right to vote to the citizens who are eighteen year old. It was ratified on July 1, 1971. This amendment was important for the students movement as they declared they could be drafted into war then they are old enough to have a voice in the government. Although congress had previously tried to lower the voting age in 1970 but it was restored by the supreme court, finally the twenty sixth amendment managed to lower it to 18.

Answer 2

The correct answer is "B".

The twenty-sixth amendment of the United States prohibits the Federal Government or any State Government to deny the right to vote to any citizen who is legally 18 years of age. In other words, citizens who are eligible to be drafted for the Vietnam War are also in their power to exercise their right to vote for state and federal elections.
