26th Amendment: commentary. Web. . Twenty-sixth Amendment to the United States Constitution. Law Encyclopedia. Web. . U.S. Constitution - Amendment 26. Steve Mount. Web. .
Works Cited
Proponents argued that if eighteen-year-olds were old enough to be drafted into military service and sent into combat, they were also old enough to vote. This line of argument was not new. It had persuaded Georgia and Kentucky to lower the minimum voting age to eighteen during World War II.
Arguments
For example, in the 2008 election Obama gained most votes from the younger audience. If the amendment would not have been made he would not have recieved as many votes and the election could have turned out differently.
