The correct answer is<em> If 18-year-olds can fight in Vietnam, they should be able to vote. </em>

By tradition, young Americans had to be at least 21 years old to vote. But that changed with the Twenty-Sixth Amendment. Literally, it provides, <em>“The right of citizens of the United States, who are 18 years of age or older, to vote, shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any state on account of age.”  </em>

This amendment prohibits the states of the U.S. discrimination among voters due to age. Now, young Americans can vote at 18 years old.

The reason to lower the voting age was that during the <em>1960s, </em>motivated mainly by the military draft into the U.S. Army to fight in Vietnam, student activism organizations protested. They argue that if they were old enough to go to war, they should be able to vote.

On <em>March 23, 1971</em>, both houses of Congress voted for a proposal to lower the voting age to 18 years old. The amendment is part of the Constitution since July 1, 1971.

Flauer [41]

The answer is "the interaural level differences"

The interaural level difference is the distinction in loudness and frequency circulation between the two ears. As sound voyages, its quality scatters. Incredibly, our ears can identify commotion contrasts between the left and right ears. In any case, more imperative for sound localization is that the head throws an acoustic shadow, which changes the uproar and recurrence conveyance of sound setting off to every ear.
