    which, in either Case, shall be valid to all Intents and Purposes, as Part of this Constitution, when ratified by the Legislatures of three fourths of the several States, or by Conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other Mode of Ratification may be proposed by the Congress; Provided that no Amendment which may be made prior to the Year One thousand eight hundred and eight shall in any Manner affect the first and fourth Clauses in the Ninth Section of the first Article*; and that no State, without its Consent, shall be deprived of its equal Suffrage in the Senate.

    (Explanation)     If we give the votes of the younger voters the most weight rather than giving it to the older counterparts, the executive and legislative branches can be modified to benefit not only the short term well being of the country but also can help the long term. The vote of someone younger will count way more than the vote of someone of older age. Age 18 is way more helpful than 100.
