<span>On the whole the effect of the 26th amendment on voter turnout has been mixed. Youth turnout was very high in 1972, the first general election in which the amendment was in effect, but declined afterward, hitting a low of 36% in 1988. In general, the youth vote has only turned out at a high rate when issues of particular concern to youth are central to the nation's agenda. The two highest turnouts of young voters on record occurred in 1972, when the Vietnam War and the draft were very much of concern to young voters, and 2008, when young voters enthusiastically turned out to elect the nation's first African American president.</span>

What did John Adams do to make his term as president so bad?
I am Lyosha [343]
I think that it could be argued whether or not he was "bad" but he definitely wasn't the best. 

The biggest arguments for John Adams as a bad president:

1) He acted too much on his own beliefs and didn't go along with any party. Didn't go against Washington's wishes and enter war against France, which a lot of people disagreed with.

2) The Alien Acts made it easier to deport foreigners, and made it more difficult for immigrants to vote. The sedition acts were basically a form of censorship that prevented people from saying negative things about the government. 

3) He was not as religious as many other politicians at the time, and is famous for saying that the United States is not a Christian country. 

Basically, he did things based on his own beliefs and didn't go along with any one party. This caused both parties to hate him, and some could say that it led to the death of the Federalist party since they were without any real leader during this time.
