Voting Age

Should the voting age be lowered to 16? Or are 16-year-olds too young to vote? The voting age has already been lowered once in our nation's history to accommodate soldiers who were "old enough to fight" but not old enough to vote. Are today's 16-year-olds in a similar position? Should they have a say in the laws and decisions that affect them? Or are they too inexperienced to weigh in? Your students will examine evidence and develop a well-supported argument that answers this question!
