Answer:

Advancements in travel and communications allowed this change.

Step-by-step explanation:

The 20th amendment is commonly known as "Lame duck amendment", it was introduced to reduce or reduce the long period of time a defeated member of congress or president would continue to serve if they failed reelection.

This legislation was important because it tried to eliminate lame duck legislators and presidents, but it didn't succeed in eliminating the lame duck legislators.

It did set the date at which the federal government's elected offices end and who would succeed the president if he dies. It says that if President is unable to do their job then the vice president would take his place and become president.
