A merit-based system is one in which a person is valued for their achievements or merits. This means that the things taken into consideration to hire a person are their experience, knowledge, skill set, and any other abilities that prove relevant to the job.

(ii) Villagers were called upon to supply soldiers, forced recruitment in rural areas caused widespread resentment.
During the Vietnam War, many young men in the United States were being drafted into the military to fight in the war. The minimum age for men to join the armed forces was 18 years old, but the voting age was 21.
And so, a debate that was started after World War II, intensified during the Vietnam War as more young men were being forced to fight in a war they didn't agree with, yet denied the right to vote to make change in their country.
Today, the 26th Amendment prohibits the state and/or federal government to deny the right to vote in elections due to age, for anyone over 18. All citizens over 18 can vote in federal and state elections without the fear of being barred from the poll booths.
