<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>

zloy xaker [14]

They had four main religions, those being Memphis, Theban, Heliopolis, and Hermopolis Theology. The Ancient Egyptian religions really shaped their lifestyles because they believed that if they put a lot of effort in practicing the religion, the gods will gain respect from them, and would favor them for practicing the religion. Most of the practices comes from the pharaoh, which the Egyptians believed that pharaohs were a gift from god. Their religious practices was mostly practiced with rituals or traditions.

marin [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

The Louisiana Purchase (1803) was a land deal between the United States and France, in which the U.S. acquired approximately 827,000 square miles of land west of the Mississippi River for $15 million.

[T]his little event, of France possessing herself of Louisiana, ... is the embryo of a tornado which will burst on the countries on both shores of the Atlantic and involve in it’s effects their highest destinies.1

President Thomas Jefferson wrote this prediction in an April 1802 letter to Pierre Samuel du Pont amid reports that Spain would retrocede to France the vast territory of Louisiana. As the United States had expanded westward, navigation of the Mississippi River and access to the port of New Orleans had become critical to American commerce, so this transfer of authority was cause for concern. Within a week of his letter to du Pont, Jefferson wrote U.S. Minister to France Robert Livingston: "every eye in the US. is now fixed on this affair of Louisiana. perhaps nothing since the revolutionary war has produced more uneasy sensations through the body of the nation."2
