The Importance of the 26th Amendment

             This Amendment is important because it allows everyone in the U.S. eighteen or older to vote. Even the black people both men and women.  Even though the Congress has the power to enforce this Amendment, they still can't take this right away.  They only have the right to enforce it.  It is also important because it doesn't allow people who are seventeen to vote.  So if someone that was eighteen in one day, they still couldn't vote because they aren't eighteen yet.
