People like Native Americans, Enslaved people, and women were not allowed to participate in government.

There were a few people who did not have voting rights, such as women, Native Americans, and enslaved people.

After the end of the civil war, enslaved people were allowed to be free, and vote.

I would choose the 15th Amendment Because it gave People of different race's the oppotunaty to vote which hints back to equality Which is one of the 4 unalienable rights. Equality Is very important because you can't have a good democracy without it.

Nate Pool

After the civil war, the Constitution was amended to free Enslaved people and give Black American men the vote. But women were still left out.

after the Civil War had finally ended, almost everyone was able to vote. ( that were adults) this included enslaved people and Native Americans

Oniks

otroshani — 2024-11-11 13:24:41 UTC

After the civil war : Allowed Black American Men to vote

1920 : Woman were allowed to vote

1924: indigenous people were able to move in to areas

I feel strong a bout this because it was the start of more equality throughout America

Scarlett

szimmerman58 — 2024-11-11 13:25:05 UTC

After the civil war, the constitution started to become more inclusive as the years went on. Like letting black Americans to vote, then women in 1920, and indigenous people in 1924.

bblue420 — 2024-11-11 13:25:12 UTC

The aftermath of the civil war altered the constitution, allowing people who did not previously have the ability to vote to. Previously enslaved people and black Americans were allowed to vote from this edit to the constitution, but women were excluded from this.

I feel strongly about the 19th amendment, which allowed women to vote. Allowing women to vote greatly increases the amount of voters and different perspectives in government.

I would propose an amendment that would allow everybody going to college or university no matter the age to get student loans that would pay themself. Most students that get student loans have lots of debt in the future due to these loans so I would make it where around 50% of the loans are paid off. I think this could maybe work as the USA has over 900 billion dollars for its defense budget, so if we just take a little bit of money from there than it could work.

"After the Civil War, for example, the Constitution was amended to free and slave people and give black American men the vote."

After the civil war had come to an end, the amendment was ratified that finally gave black Americans the right to vote.

szimmerman58 — 2024-11-11 13:30:55 UTC

Amendment 9 which concludes, "The enumeration in this constitution, of certain rights shall be constructed to deny or disparage others retained by people "

This explains that rights listed on the Constitution still can be altered or abolished by the people therefore making it non-executive.

Nate Pool

npool7 — 2024-11-11 13:31:08 UTC

I would propose a amendment that people working in the food industry be payed a full salary rather than having to ask for tips. It seems fair because it helps the citizens from having to be pressured into tipping high and it helps out the people asking for tips to not have to rely on them for a full income.

Blue

bblue420 — 2024-11-11 13:31:23 UTC

I believe there should be an amendment for better worker pay. Many workers are paid less than minimal wage, which is a large issue for a lot of people. While some jobs pay betters, it's harder for someone fresh out of high school to get a good paying job over someone who has a lot of experience. Many people have to work jobs that barley sustain them and their bills, while many companies have more money then the average person could have in a lifetime.

Alex

ahenderson142 — 2024-11-11 13:32:33 UTC

I strongly agree with Amendment 1 because it states that congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion and protects the freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of assembly, and the right to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Terra

EarthToTerra — 2024-11-11 13:34:08 UTC

The 19th amendment, absolutely. Allowing women to vote was a huge stride in US history. One that arguably could have happened sooner, but it made everything so much more equal, and it made the voting process way more important because so many more people were included.

Amiya

acruz309 — 2024-11-11 13:50:25 UTC

to be honest I don't know but I really like Amendment 5 because I just really like the idea of it

I think that people should be paid for how hard they work and the work that they do instead of being paid for how long they work because if you're not doing anything at your job and still getting paid the same amount who somebody who's working 10 times as hard as you then you should be being paid less because it's more fair and I think that the insurance should accept more things in healthcare because people who are dying have to pay extreme amounts of money for their Healthcare to be covered in a lot of times their insurance doesn't cover it so I think everyone's Healthcare should be covered by the insurance

pbrown205 — 2024-11-11 18:27:09 UTC

After the civil war, everyone could vote!

but not Hedgehogs :C

the 19th admendment wich allows women to vote. With more people being allowed to vote it increaces the votes by a lot, and having more opinions heard.

Phoenix

PHOENIX_322 — 2024-11-11 18:32:15 UTC

13th amendment; which abolished slavery (I think its obvious why this is important..)

and the 19th amendment which allowed women to vote.

It was important that Women were able to vote because it allowed more opinions and voices to be heard and increased the votes.

[PAAB]

pbrown205 — 2024-11-11 18:35:35 UTC

Amendment 14: The abolishment of slavery of any sort.

This one makes me yes :]

the civil war helped the constitution be more inclusive by letting black people vote and do other things that white people could.

Enslaved people, Native Americans and woman were excluded from politics.

Ella

Once the war was over the constitution freed people from slavery and gave people of color but only males the right to vote.

Ella

eedwards84 — 2024-11-14 20:24:14 UTC

I would propose more equality specifically in the work field, government and socially among people because certain groups of people consistency make more money, get more power and are more socially respected than a different group.
