Amendments made it possible for women and African Americans and other minorities to vote, and the civil rights act made it illegal to impose poll taxes, literacy tests, and grandfather clauses on the voting offices.
During the course of our history, in addition to the 27 amendments which have been ratified by the required three-fourths of the States, six other amendments have been submitted to the States but have not been ratified by them.
Amendments to the United States Constitution are created two different ways. First, by a two-thirds majority vote in both houses of Congress, the House of Representatives and the Senate. The second way is by a constitutional convention that is called by at least a two-thirds majority of all state legislatures.
I dont know
Grandfather clauses were based upon individual African American's family histories.
Article V of the Constitution states that amendments may not, "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." http://www.archives.gov/exhibits/charters/constitution_transcript.html
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. This is basically saying that no amendments can be made before 1888 and that any amendments made after that time cannot affect the first and fourth clauses of the ninth section in the first article of the constitution.
Because people were really stupid back then!!!!!!!!!!
a complete subject and a complete predicate
Amendments are added to the Constitution to address specific issues.
There are two kinds of clauses and three types of clauses in the English language. The two kinds are independent and dependent. An independent clause consists of a subject and a predicate that represent a complete thought. Dependent clauses depend on independent clauses to make complete sense. the three dependent clauses are noun clauses, adjective clauses, and adverb clauses.
The amendments that are brought to certain clauses are the things that change the constitution. There are many changes that have been made to the constitution of the United State, the 17th amendment is one of the most popular amendments.
