Explanation:

Question 24:

The 26th Amendment lowered the voting age from 21 to 18, motivated by young men being drafted at 18 (able to fight) but unable to vote until 21. The 15th Amendment focused on race/color voting rights, 19th on women's suffrage, 24th on poll taxes. So the correct amendment is the 26th.

In the US, the Supreme Law of the Land is the US Constitution (per Article VI). Magna Carta is UK - related, Declaration of Independence is a founding document, Articles of Perpetual Union was for colonies. So the Supreme Law is the US Constitution.

South Carolina's legislative branch is the General Assembly. Congress is federal, State House is part of the General Assembly (but the full legislative body is General Assembly), Municipal Court is judicial. So the legislative branch is the General Assembly.

Answer:

d. 26th Amendment
