The Seventeenth Amendment established the direct election of U.S. Senators by popular vote, enhancing democratic participation. The Nineteenth Amendment granted women the right to vote, significantly expanding the electorate. The Twentieth Amendment, also known as the "Lame Duck Amendment," changed the inauguration date for the President and Congress, streamlining the transition of power. Finally, the Twenty-sixth Amendment lowered the voting age to 18, further broadening access to the ballot.
