Fall of Vietnam — Quiz

Question 10 • US History

How did the Twenty-sixth Amendment affect the concerns of young people during the Vietnam War?

Answer
A
It gave the president unlimited power to increase the draft.
B
It lowered the voting age, which helped make young people less skeptical.
C
It limited the president’s powers to increase the draft.
D
It ended the draft, which was one of young people’s major demands.

Explanation

The Twenty-sixth Amendment lowered the voting age from 21 to 18. This gave young people a greater voice in choosing leaders and shaping policies, including decisions about the Vietnam War and the draft. It did not end the draft or limit the president’s power to increase it, so the best choice is “It lowered the voting age, which helped make young people less skeptical.”
