When the 26th Amendment was approved by the House of
Representatives and Senate and sent to the state legislatures in March
1971, it rocketed into the Constitution at record speed: The required
three quarters of the states ratified it in just 107 days. The primary effect of the 26th Amendment, which lowered the voting
age to 18, was to significantly increase the number of nonvoters. "I know of people who
were asked difficult things like, `What's the 13th amendment'
or, What's the 26th amendment,'" says Mary Ellen Ros of
the New York Association for New Americans. |
