<span>Without amendments, we are stuck with what some guys thought would be nice over 200 years ago. A few things we took out of the constitution by amendment: Slaves count as 3/5 of a person. The incoming president must wait five months after being elected to take office. Electoral college for senators (now--can we get rid of it for presidents?) We also filled in holes that were evident in the constitution, and clarified more rights that people have. The Bill of Rights is all amendments--they wanted a working government first before they decided what limits to put on it. Women were allowed to vote. Someone figured out that if a president becomes sick but doesn't die, the government is in limbo, because the VP couldn't just do the President's job until an amendment was passed saying how it would be determined the Pres was too sick to do his job. Allowing amendments allows mistakes made by the writers of the constitution to be corrected, and for changes they didn't forsee to be allowable.</span>

garri49 [273]

Answer:

Dear, friend It is amazing here at the magnificent splendor of the French court. The most potent symbol of the King’s absolute power. The people are very wealthy here. They welcomed me here in a very respectful manner. It's amazing literally. The palace was just to show off to the people and show how much control he had over the economy and what he could do with the money. He is really a very nice man.. I wish you could be here with me right now, I still can't believe that i'm here. I like the way they are so organized and polite. I just don't like how they show off every time some one new comes in. I feel like it is not need to do the extra. Everyone knows your wealthy and to class. I would love to work here or live here, the workers here are nice and sweet. They know what you like even before you tell them it's great.

What was the reaction to the Supreme Court decision in Nixon v. Herndon?
elixir [45]
The answer is D

Nixon v. Herndon was a US Supreme court ruling that unanimously rejected the decision to strike down a 1923 Texas that forbade blacks from voting in the Texas Democratic Party primary. The aftermath led to Texas promptly enacting a new provision to continue restrictions on black voter participation.


The US Supreme court ruling in the court case of Nixon v. Herndon was that there was an obvious infringement of the 14th amendment to the constitution. This in turn violated Dr. Lawrence Nixon. Nixon had stated that both 14th and 15th amendment rights had been violated but only the 14th amendment had been violated according to the Supreme Court.
