Question

Which of the following flow charts accurately illustrates the history of Constitutional amendments in the United States?

Answer 1

The correct answer is Chart B

Explanation:

Amendments are modifications or changes in the constitution of a country. These are necessary to make laws suitable to historical, political, and social circumstances (for example, by eliminating obsolete laws) or to make laws more specific or effective. In the case of the U.S. amendments to the constitution are common but only some of these are approved and ratified to become permanent.

Indeed, it is believed around 10,700 amendments have been proposed since the 18th century. Additionally, from these only thirty-three have been considered and send to ratification, and only twenty-seven amendments have been ratified, which occurs after states vote in favor of the amendment, and this is official. One of the most popular amendments was the 13th amendment that abolished slavery.
