Young Americans resisted the draft during the Vietnam War through various means, including protests, demonstrations, and civil disobedience. Many openly burned their draft cards as a symbol of defiance, while others sought conscientious objector status, citing moral or religious beliefs against war. Some fled to Canada or other countries to avoid conscription, reflecting widespread opposition to U.S. involvement in Vietnam. Additionally, student organizations and anti-war movements mobilized protests, raising public awareness and challenging the government's policies.

Which amendment gave young Americans being drafted during the Vietnam war a greater political voice?

The 26th Amendment, ratified in 1971, granted the right to vote to citizens aged 18 and older. This amendment was significant during the Vietnam War era as it addressed the disparity between the draft age and voting age, allowing young Americans who were being drafted to have a greater political voice in decisions that directly affected their lives. By lowering the voting age, it empowered younger citizens to participate in the democratic process and influence policies related to the war.
