Question 7 • * HSA 26-27 US Government

Which statement is true regarding the Twenty-sixth Amendment?

Answer
A
Individual states could determine whether to give young people the right to vote.
B
Any military veteran who had served in combat was given the right to vote.
C
The government mandated that all youth over 18 were granted the right to vote.
D
The minimum voting age for females remained at 21.

Explanation

The Twenty-sixth Amendment lowered the voting age to 18 throughout the United States. It says that citizens who are 18 or older cannot be denied the vote on account of age, so the right did not depend on state choice or military service. Therefore, the true statement is that the government mandated voting rights for people 18 and older.
