The 26th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States lowered the voting age to 18; this allowed many children who had not bothered to learn about the issues to cast votes that were based entirely on emotion, rather than reason.

What 6 amendments deal with expanding voting rights?
There are only 3 amendments dealing with suffrage: the 15th, 19th, and the 26th. The 15th amendment gave voting rights to all male citizens, the 19th amendment gave all women the right to vote, and the 26th amendment changed the voting age from 21 to 18. Technically, as the 14th Amendment defines citizenship, it also affects suffrage, as only citizens are allowed to vote. Also, the 24th Amendment forbids poll taxes (and similar items), which were used to disenfranchise many poorer blacks (even though they technically had the right to vote, they couldn't meet the "other" requirements set out by Jim Crow laws). While the 13th Amendment outlaws slavery, it does not have anything specific with suffrage (it does not grant suffrage to anyone - even though it outlawed slavery, without the 15th to grant citizenship, the 13th does not give anyone voting rights).
