Edward Moore 'Ted' Kennedy was a prominent American politician who served as a U.S. Senator from Massachusetts for nearly 47 years, from 1962 until his death in 2009. Known as a key figure in the Democratic Party, he was the youngest brother of President John F. Kennedy and Senator Robert F. Kennedy. Ted Kennedy was instrumental in passing significant legislation in areas such as health care, education, and civil rights.
