Correct answer:  

<h2>D. the 26th Amendment to the Constitution</h2>

The 26th Amendment lowered the voting age from 21 to 18.

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>

yanalaym [24]

The correct answer is D) It describes how presidents can use the State of the Union to publicize their goals.

How does paragraph 8 contribute to the development of ideas in the text?

Answer:

It describes how presidents can use the State of the Union to publicize their goals.

This is the correct answer because that paragraph talks about the way the United States President used the State of the Union Address to inform Congress and the American people about the situation of the country in politics, economy, security, and more.

But nowadays, the situation has changed and the US President uses public relations programs to appear before the media and tries to influence public opinion through mass media.

Which of the following farming practices contributed to the economic downturn? Select the two correct
MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

  • Many Farmers sold their Land and Farming equipment ( B )
  • Many Farmers borrowed money against the profits of future crops ( D )

Explanation:

These farming practices were very bad practices that lead to economic downturns because it resulted mostly to drastic reduction of agricultural produce and availability of food in the open market which might lead to importation of food that would have been produced locally and add to the country's GDP.

Farmers selling off their Land and Farming equipment is not a good farming practice because it means that the farmer is no longer into farming leading to decrease in potential agricultural produce in the market.

Farmers borrowing money against the profits of his future crops is a very bad farming practice because the profits were supposed to be used to invest into the farm and not to service loans.
