The 26 Amendment is still brought up today because of all of these presidential and political votes.The article is talking about if teens should be able to vote i think they should be able to vote. I think this because "
children are going to be the future,shouldnt teens have a say and be allowed to vote?" All poeple are affected my political decisions nowadays the political world has changed.The article if pointing out that teens such as 16 year olds should be able to vote.
Opinion on amendment?
The 26 amendment was a powerful but understanding rule we had to follow. This is true because if the teens could drink alcohol then thy should be able to vote for a president. The teens could also get drafted into the war such as the vietnam war. But even still could not vote even with putting a fight it would not work. However today they want to change it to age 16, i think this is not necessary because they are still young and will use this as an advantage and fool around.Overall voting at age 18 is the right think to do and the 26 amendment is right.
