There are four amendments to the Constitution about who can vote. Describe one of them.

• A. Don't have to pay to vote
• B. Any citizen can vote
• C. A male citizen of any race can vote
• D. Citizens must be 18 and older

Answer: (D)

The main concept is identifying which amendment granted voting rights to a specific age group. The correct description is the one that says citizens must be 18 and older. This reflects the 26th Amendment, ratified in 1971, which guarantees that anyone who is 18 years old or older has the right to vote in federal, state, and local elections. It was driven by the idea that if 18-year-olds could be drafted for military service, they should also have a voice in choosing leaders. The other options refer to older or different voting protections rather than the age change: poll taxes were banned by the 24th Amendment, the notion of voting for a male citizen of any race reflects outdated language now superseded by later amendments, and “any citizen” without specifying age isn’t the specific change described by the amendment in question.
