The 26th amendment (granting the right to vote for 18 year-olds) took

only 3 months & 8 days to be ratified!  Why?  Simple!  The people

demanded it.  That was in 1971...before computers, before e-mail,

before cell phones, etc.

Of the 27 amendments to the Constitution, seven (7) took 1 year or

less to become the law of the land...all because of public pressure.
