Question

You read about a proposed amendment to require all students to remain in high school until they are able to pass all required courses. You argue that it will not become an amendment. Based on Amendments 11 to 27. why would you argue that it will NOT become an amendment? А. It will not pass because amendments only change voting rights and taxes. B It will not pass because amendments only affect people over 18 years old It will not pass because most proposed amendments do not pass D. It will not pass because proposing amendments is no longer allowed​

Answer 1

Answer: If I received this question, the only viable option in my opinion is answer choice C.

Explanation: I believe that it cannot be A due to the fact that amendments have passed and effected things other than voting rights and taxes (3rd amendment, gun rights). I believe that is cannot be B because amendments affect people under 18 (Tinker vs Des Moines). I also believe that it cannot be D due to the fact that as long as 2/3 of the Senate and House approve it and 3/4 of the states ratify it, amendments are still allowed. You could argue for the answer C since it might not pass because most proposed amendments do not pass. 27 amendments have been approved while 6 have been denied. A lot more have been discussed but ultimately not submitted to the States.
