Answer:
B raising the voting age allows voters to gain more life experience
Answer:
ans(a) The typical age of attaining legal adulthood is 18, although definition may vary by legal rights and country. Human adulthood encompasses psychological adult development. ... Conversely, one may legally be an adult but possess none of the maturity and responsibility that may define an adult character.
ans(b) sorry I don't know
ans[c] Eisenhower, in his 1954 State of the Union address, became the first president to publicly support prohibiting age-based denials of suffrage for those 18 and older. During the 1960s, both Congress and the state legislatures came under increasing pressure to lower the minimum voting age from 21 to 18.
ans(d) Young people have the lowest turnout, though as the individual ages, turnout increases to a peak at the age of 50 and then falls again. Ever since 18-year-olds were given the right to vote in 1972, youth have been under represented at the polls.
