Explanation:
Jane Austen's novel <em>Northanger Abbey</em> tells the coming-of-age story of Catherine Morland. This novel deals with the theme of the loss of innocence and also depicts the typical Elizabethan society where wealth determines one's status.
Catherine had been invited by the family friend the Allens in Bath, where they had gone to a ball. But not being asked for a dance by anyone, Catherine felt bad and wishes that there was at least someone, anyone to talk to. She even implored on Mrs. Allen to try to find any acquaintance, asking her <em>"are you sure there is nobody you know in all this multitude of people? I think you must know somebody"</em> prompting her to sincerely tell her that she does not know anyone.
When asked by Mr. Allen whether she <em>"had an agreeable ball" </em>to which she replied <em>"Very agreeable indeed"</em> while at the same time <em>"vainly endeavoring to hide a great yawn"</em>. In this scene, the narrator implies that Catherine did not have an enjoyable time at the ball, despite the <em>"multitude of people"</em> who were in attendance.
<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>
