Answer to Question 1

TRUE

Answer to Question 2

An ideal response will:
1, Describe the Twenty-Sixth Amendment (1971), which gave 18-year-old citizens the right to vote.
2, Explain the significance of this amendment for expanding the franchise and reasons that it was passed, including new issues with the Vietnam War and the newfound role of young people in promoting change. Point out one of the chief arguments in favor of the amendment was that it seemed only fair to give the vote to people who were old enough to defend their country in a war.
