<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 for see to be allowable.</span>

34. The Civil War Constitution of 1861 merely altered the Constitution of 1845 to ensure greater protection for the institution
prohojiy [21]

The Civil War Constitution of 1861 merely altered the Constitution of 1845 to ensure greater protection for the institution of slavery and to declare allegiance to the Confederacy.

How did the Constitution of 1861 differ from the one ratified in 1845?

This constitution made only minor changes to the one from 1845, changing the names of the United States of America and the Confederate States of America and requiring elected officials to pledge allegiance to the Confederate States of America.

What event caused the adoption of the Constitution of 1845?

1861 To facilitate Texas's entry into the Confederacy, the Secession Convention rewrote the Texas Constitution in a conservative manner. It approved the Constitution of 1845 with minor amendments to prohibit the release of slaves, demand Confederate allegiance oaths from officials, and facilitate modification.
