Question

You overhear your friend saying it’s easy to figure out if someone violated the Constitution - all you have to do is read the language of the Constitution to see what is allowed and what isn’t. Is this statement accurate? Explain your answer by citing at least one example.

Answer 1

Although the Constitution has specific rules you can find in it, many Amendments have been added or deleted over time. One example of an amendment added to the Constitution is the 19th Amendment passed in 1920 that allowed women the right to vote. Also, the 13th Amendment abolished slavery in 1865.
