The 13th amendment abolished slavery in the United States of America after an outrageously long and disgusting time of legalized slavery. The amendment states that "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction."]]> 2017-09-10 22:14:02 UTC https://padlet.com/coltontprice/j7z6wdsguxfa/wish/186190654 Process coltontprice https://padlet.com/coltontprice/j7z6wdsguxfa/wish/186191116 The amendment process is discussed in Article V of the constitution.]]> 2017-09-10 22:19:41 UTC https://padlet.com/coltontprice/j7z6wdsguxfa/wish/186191116 Issues and Proposals coltontprice https://padlet.com/coltontprice/j7z6wdsguxfa/wish/186191476 2017-09-10 22:23:34 UTC https://padlet.com/coltontprice/j7z6wdsguxfa/wish/186191476 The Electoral College coltontprice https://padlet.com/coltontprice/j7z6wdsguxfa/wish/186191551 Many Americans view the Electoral College as an out of date and out of touch imperfection in the Constitution. The Electoral College essentially makes public voting nonsense, a flashy and purposeless action. The popular vote, as we have seen with the election of George W. Bush and Donald Trump, is ignored while the higher ups invited to vote at the Electoral College hold the real power. It creates an false democracy, something the people of the United States are beginning to realize. Levinson, in the CQ article, proposes to replace the Electoral College with a direct popular vote for the president, something that should have happened decades ago. ]]> 2017-09-10 22:24:41 UTC https://padlet.com/coltontprice/j7z6wdsguxfa/wish/186191551 The Commerce Clause coltontprice https://padlet.com/coltontprice/j7z6wdsguxfa/wish/186191965 The clause states that the United States Congress shall have power "To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes."  Many people believe this gives the government far too much power in dealing with foreign countries. Barnett, in the CQ article, has an idea of mending the Constitution. Barnett wants to limit the power of Congress under the Commerce Clause. In addition, Barnett has spoken about his proposal to change the vote by
legislatures in two-thirds of the states to
repeal a law passed by Congress
