HELP PLEASE !!! Do you think the process for amending the Constitution is too difficult? Explain your position.

History
1 answer:
Nuetrik [128]3 years ago

The process of adding an amendment to the Constitution was made intentionally difficult to prevent amendments based on political whims from being irrevocably added to the Constitution. Even so, the 18th Amendment, which criminalized the sale of alcohol in the United States, was repealed by the 21st Amendment 13 years later. There have been thousands of proposed amendments to the Constitution, but only 33 of those achieved the required supermajority to be submitted to the states for ratification. Of those, six have yet to be ratified, including amendments that would have granted the District of Columbia full representation in Congress, mandated equal rights for men and women and allowed Congress to regulate and prohibit child labor. Another notable unratified amendment is the Corwin Amendment, which has been pending since March 2, 1861 and would have rendered slavery immune to abolition by Congress or by Constitutional amendment.

Stoicism was the school of thought that was flourished in Greek and Roman. This is the loftiest history of Stoicism that is recorded in western civilization.

What were at least 3 things the Council of Trent determined should be changed?
svlad2 [7]

I would list these three things:

  • Simony was condemned.
  • Indulgences were no longer to be sold.
  • Clergy were to become better educated.

Detail/context:

The Council of Trent, held over a span of years from 1545 to 1563,  served to reform some abuses that were acknowledged by the Catholic Church.  Mostly, though, the Council aimed to assert the full authority of Roman power and doctrine over the Protestant threat.  

  • Simony was the practice of buying and selling church offices.  The Council of Trent condemned such practices, which had been widely abused in the church and criticized by reformers.
  • As for indulgences, the underlying principle of indulgences was upheld -- that the church had authority to grant reprieve to penance or time in purgatory. But the sale of indulgences was stopped.  The church recognized that the selling of indulgences had been an abuse and determined to end that practice.
  • As for clergy education, seminaries were established and the Roman Catechism, also known as the Catechism of the Council of Trent, was commissioned by the Council and was published in 1566,.  The intention of these actions was thoroughly to improve the education of the church's clergy.
