26


What amendment changed the voting age from twenty one to eighteen?

The 26th Amendment, adopted in 1971, lowered the voting age to eighteen. Under Section 2, it is stated that Congress has the power to enforce this. Please support commonsense grammar.


Which constitutional amendments extended the right to vote?

Four different constitutional amendments extended voting rights to various groups:Fifteenth Amendment: Prohibited discrimination by race (applied primarily to African-American males), ratified in 1870.Nineteenth Amendment: Granted women's suffrage (right to vote), ratified in 1920.Twenty-third Amendment: Allowed citizens residing in the District of Columbia the right to vote in presidential elections, ratified in 1961.Twenty-sixth Amendment: Reduced the minimum voting age from 21 to 18, allowing younger people the right to vote, ratified in 1971.


Did the fifteenth amendment succeed in extending voting rights to African American men?

The persistent violence against Blacks and voting sent a message to the Republican Party. They passed the 15th amendment to the US Constitution barring race as a test for voting. The amendment said nothing about a state's right to determine requirements for voting other than race. This was a loophole that southern states would exploit for many decades to limit Black voting.


What does the fifteenth amendment mean by extended voting rights to African Americans by outlawing denial of the right to vote on the basis of race color or previous servitude?

It means giving voting rights by making denial of the right to vote based on race illegal.
