Answer:

Explained below

Explanation:

American independence brought Democracy to the United States. People followed the rule of government strictly based on Constitution. One of the initial key features was the voting right in the federal elections granted to the citizens: who were at least 21 years old. This restriction was resolved through Constitutional Amendments extending the voting privilege to any citizen who is at least 18 years old meeting the essential criteria mentioned in the law.  

1) The Fifteenth Amendment (1870) gave African-American men the right to vote.

"right of citizens of  the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on  account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude."

2) The Nineteenth Amendment (1920) assures each and every American women the right to vote.

“the right of citizens of the United  States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of  sex.”

3) The Twenty-sixth Amendment (1971) lowered  the voting age from 21 to 18.

“the right of citizens of the United States, who are  eighteen years of age or older, to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by  any State on account of age.”

Hence, US has witnessed remarkable changes to ensure "every eligible American citizen's civic responsibility to vote."

The statements accurately describe key compromises reached at the Constitutional Convention in 1787 :

The Three-Fifths Compromise established that the population of enslaved people in a state would be only partially represented in that state’s official population.

The Great Compromise, also known as the Connecticut Compromise, established that Congress would be composed of one house in which representation was based on a state’s size and one in which every state was represented equally.

Option : B and C.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Constitutional Convention is a major event that took place in 1787. It decided that how America will be governed in future days. Moreover, it ratified by all the 13 states and resulted in three major compromises. They are Three-Fifths compromise, Great compromise, and Electoral College.

Firstly, the Great compromise ended the issue between the states regarding the representation of members in both houses.

Secondly, the Three-Fifths made the enslaved person's representation to be calculated as three-fifths of the white person in the House of representatives.
