u s constitutional amendment proposal presentation

Constitutional amendments exist to correct a perceived problem with the existing document. In previous weeks, you examined the Bill of Rights and the process for constitutional amendment. For this assignment, each team must consider a possible constitutional amendment

Each team will choose between two options. One option is a rather noncontroversial issue for the general public, while the second issue is more controversial.
