Question

select the word that means the right to vote. the twenty - sixth amendment to the constitution extended suffrage to americans aged eighteen to twenty - one. advocates of the change argued that since eighteen - year - olds were fighting in the military, they deserved to participate in the political process. before that, only people aged twenty - one or older could cast ballots in the nations elections.

suffrage
