26th Amendment

Amendment XXVI

Section 1.

The right of citizens of the United States, who are 18 years of age or older, to vote, shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any state on account of age.

Section 2.

The Congress shall have the power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.

This amendment is super important because it granted all U.S citizens the right to vote. In turn this help establish our government's system of democracy and our strong emphasis in political participation.
