Ratification of the Constitution Chapter 8 Section 4 Ratification of the Constitution

Amendments Official changes 26th Amendment The United States was in the throes of the Vietnam War and protests were underway throughout the nation. Draftees into the armed services were any male over the age of 18. However: these young men were allowed, even forced, to fight and die for their country, but they were unable to vote. The 14th Amendment only guaranteed the vote to those over twenty-one.The Congress attempted to right this wrong in 1970 by passing an extension to the 1965 Voting Rights Act that gave the vote to all persons 18 or older, in all elections, on all levels. On March 23, 1971, after a major Supreme Court battle Congress passed the text of the 26th Amendment, specifically setting a national voting age, in both state and national elections, to 18.
