Question

In one paragraph, summarize the Twenty-Sixth Amendment and describe the change it creates.

Answer 1

The Twenty-Sixth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution prohibits the United States and the states from denying or abridging the right to vote of citizens who are eighteen years of age or older and gives Congress the power to enforce that rule by appropriate legislation; in short, it lowered the voting age from 21 to 18 for federal, state, and local elections, enfranchising millions of young adults.
