Question 4 of 10 What situation led most directly to the passage of the Twenty-Sixth Amendment? A. The increasing number of women entering the workforce B. The civil rights movement C. The Supreme Court ruling in Brown v.Board of Education D. The war in Vietnam

D. The war in Vietnam<br /><br />The Twenty-Sixth Amendment, which lowered the voting age from 21 to 18, was passed largely due to the situation surrounding the Vietnam War. Many argued that if 18-year-olds were old enough to be drafted and fight in the war, they should also have the right to vote. This sentiment led to the amendment's ratification in 1971.
