<h2>The 26th Amendment lowered the voting age from 21 to 18.</h2>

Context/details:

There were strong protest movements going on in America during the 1960s, leading up to 1971 when the 26th Amendment was passed by Congress and ratified by the states.  Protests against the Vietnam War were active on college campuses across the country, with communication between students and media reports being a big part of the story.  Part of those protests were the demands of young people chanting, "Old enough to fight, old enough to vote."  Since 18 was old enough to be drafted to fight in the war, young people argued for their right to vote as full citizens.

The 26th Amendment was passed by Congress on March 23, 1971.  It was ratified by the states faster than any other amendment, achieving ratification by July 1, 1971.

The 26th Amendment is worded as follows:  

  • <em>Section 1. 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.</em>
  • <em>Section 2. The Congress shall have the power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.</em>

<span>The twenty-sixth amendment supports that U.S. citizens who are over 18 can vote. During World War II, President Franklin Roosevelt lowered the minimum drafting age from 21 to 18, this led to a lot of protests and oppositions, and so the popular rally saying was "Old Enough to Fight, Old Enough to Vote" was established. Passed and Ratified by Congress in 1971, 26th Amendment granted the right to vote at age 18.</span>
