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>

Alex Ar [27]

There is some disagreement about exactly when the Cold War began. While the majority of historians maintain that it began as soon as World War II ended, others affirm that the beginnings of the Cold War date back to the end of World War I, in the tensions that occurred between the Russian Empire, on the one hand , and the British Empire and the United States, on the other.The ideological clash between communism and capitalism began in 1917, after the triumph of the Russian Revolution, from which Russia emerged as the first socialist country. This was one of the first events that caused considerable erosions in Russian-American relations.

Before the Russian Revolution, support for dictators was often based on promoting US economic and political priorities, such as opening foreign markets to American manufacturers. After the rise of communism, the US government also began to support authoritarian regimes that felt they were fighting against movements aligned with communism, including socialist and social democratic movements, including Latin America. belief expressed by many that this contradicts the political ideals advocated by the United States during the Cold War, while others argued that such plans were executed in fear of Communism reaching Latin America and beginning to consolidate. The support was also oriented to ensure an environment conducive to US corporate purposes abroad, such as the United Fruit Company or Standard Oil, especially when they came under the threat of democratic regimes.The support for authoritarian regimes has been justified under various ideological frameworks, such as the Truman doctrine, Kirkpatrick doctrine or the "war on drugs".

Following the cold war policies, we can say that global intervention is a long-term plan based on maintaining the country's business businesses worldwide, ensuring that the legal and economic conditions are maintained for the business to prosper and be profitable.

What role did the Navajo code talkers play during the world war 2
ZanzabumX [31]
<span>The Navajo Code talkers played a critical role during World War II. The members of this Native American group were recruited by the US military as individuals who could relay important battlefield messages without the fear of the message being decoded by the Axis Powers. This was because the Navajo language was very difficult to learn and there were very little written records of this language. This is why the US military recruited this group specifically. Thanks to their service, the US military officers were able to communicate battefield positions of their enemies and ongoing correspondence about the place of their next attack without fear of their enemy breaking their code. </span>
