We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, ensure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution, for the United States of America.
I'm studying the constitution this year, so I'm keeping a list of Amendments. Later, maybe articles too.
Amendment 2
-The right to bear arms
Amendment 12
-The loser president can't be the vice president!
Amendment 13
-Abolition of slavery
!Amendment 14
-slaves are citizens now that there is no slavery
!Amendment 15
-people of any race can vote, now that African Americans are citizens
!Amendment 19
-girls can vote
Fifty years after black dudes could vote, the government was like, "Oh yeah, and girls too." and the British considered giving girls rights because they didn't want to be one-upped by America, and then the British girls were like "nooooo but our houses will get dirty while we're voting, plus also, we'll burn our cakes", and then the British government gave them rights ANYWAY. What the heck, British government? It was the AMERICAN girls who wanted to vote, not your girly-girls. Also, what the heck, British girls of the nineteen hundreds? If you're afraid of your house getting dirty while you're at the voting place for MAYBE two hours, just don't vote? Also, maybe don't make cakes before you go out to vote?
The conclusion here is that British girls are maybe not that bright.
Amendment 22
-The president may only serve two terms in office, each lasting four years
Amendment 24
-NO poll taxes
Government: Um, hello, Texas, we gave the black people the right to vote already so STOP CHARGING THEM FOR VOTING ARGH
Texas and co: THE SOUTH WILL RISE AGAIN.
Government: Whatever, south.
And Texas is STILL threatening to accede from the union, but no one cares so they just sit there grumbling about the loss of their slaves like a hundred years ago.
!Amendment 26
-voting age is now eighteen
Some people complained that their eighteen-year-olds were getting sent off to war to KILL people when they couldn't even vote, and the government realized that these people sort of had a point and amended the constitution.
I really appreciate it! :'D
