The Twenty-Sixth Amendment affect citizenship in the United States by expanding the definition of citizenship to include voting rights for  younger adults.

Answer: Option B

<u>Explanation:</u>

The Twenty-Sixth Amendment of the constitution of the United States of America prohibited the nation and the government from coming up with age as a factor for not allowing the citizens of the state to vote, especially for people who are at least eighteen years old.

Due to this amendment, the minimum age for voting reduced from twenty one to eighteen due to a huge requirement for more people to join the armed forces, especially during the Vietnam War.

On September 14, 1814, Francis Scott Key pens a poem which is later set to music and in 1931 becomes America's national anthem, “The Star-Spangled Banner.” The poem, originally titled “The Defence of Fort M'Henry,” was written after Key witnessed the Maryland fort being bombarded by the British during the War of 1812.

Which of these resulted from the Union victory in the Civil War? (3 points) Select one:
LenKa [72]
  • The answer is:

B. African American men were granted the right to vote.

  • Only days after the end of the American Civil War, in 1865, Frederick Douglass, elected president of the <u>Convention of Black Americans</u>, spoke during a meeting of the African Slavery Society, explaining why the black men required the right to vote and the need to make justice for them. Here is an excerpt of what his speech:

<em>“…If the Negro knows enough to pay taxes to support government, he knows enough to vote; taxation and representation should go together. If he knows enough to shoulder a musket and fight for the flag for the government, he knows enough to vote…What I ask for the Negro is not benevolence, not pity, not sympathy, but simply justice.” </em>

  • Thus, in 1869, while this issue was being discussed in the Congress, 150 black men from several states gathered for the <u>Convention of Black Americans</u>, which took place in Washington, D.C. and was the first one in the U.S. history.
  • After debating in the Congress, the 15th Amendment, which granted male African American the right to vote, was finally adopted in 1870. Moreover, the Article 1 of such Amendment states that <em>"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 race, color, or previous condition of servitude.” </em>
