Which amendment abolished the age and gender restrictions for voting?

  1. 13th Amendment

  2. 14th Amendment

  3. 19th Amendment

  4. 26th Amendment

The correct answer is: 26th Amendment

The 13th, 14th, and 19th Amendments are important amendments in American history, but they do not abolish the age and gender restrictions for voting. The 13th Amendment abolished slavery, the 14th Amendment granted citizenship and equal protection under the law to all people born or naturalized in the United States, and the 19th Amendment granted women the right to vote. The 26th Amendment, ratified in 1971, lowered the voting age from 21 to 18 and removed gender-based restrictions, allowing all citizens 18 years or older to vote. Therefore, the 26th Amendment is the correct answer in this case.
