The U.S. Constitution is a living
document that establishes government,
law and order in our country. It replaced
the Articles of Confederation, which was
commonly considered to have established
too weak a federal government. The U.S.
Constitution did not, however, speak about
rights guaranteed to citizens. This
document has been AMENDED* 27 times,
usually to address citizens’ rights. The first
10 amendments were added at the same
time in 1791 and are commonly called
“THE BILL OF RIGHTS”.
Other amendments ended slavery (13th),
prohibited alcohol (18th), gave women the
right to vote (19th) or erased previous
amendments (21st repealed the 18th). In
1971, the 26th amendment set the voting
age at 18 years old. In 1992, an
amendment set salaries for members of
Congress.
Amend = change
