The formal process of amending the Constitution is cumbersome
and slow. While this fact explains why relatively few
amendments have been adopted, it does not discourage
advocates of constitutional change from proposing them. Four
amendment proposals that have gained considerable attention
are the Balanced Budget Amendment, the Birthright Citizenship
Amendment, the Equal Rights Amendment, and the Overturn
Citizens United Amendment. Select one of these proposals as
the topic of your initial post and use the assigned resources to
inform yourself about its purpose and the arguments of its
supporters and critics.
Before writing your initial post, review the
assigned resources
.
In your initial post of at least 200-250 words, briefly summarize
what the proposed amendment would do and the problem its
proponents say it will solve. Explain the main pros and cons in
the debate about the amendment. Evaluate the proposed
amendment from two perspectives:
Your own political philosophy, values or ideology. (Justify your
assessment by clearly explaining your political values and why
they lead you to support or oppose the amendment.)
The likelihood that the proposed amendment will eventually be
ratified to become part of the Constitution. (Justify your
assessment by explaining how the proposal will or will not, in
your judgment, survive the ratification process.)
Fully respond to all parts of the question. Write in your own
words. Support your position with APA citations to
two
or more of the assigned resources required for this discussion.
Please be sure that you demonstrate understanding of these
resources, integrate them into your argument, and cite them
properly.
