Today’s important issues sometimes show us why we need to change our Constitution.
Here are a couple of examples:
Civil Rights: People fighting for equal treatment led to the 14th Amendment. This amendment makes sure everyone is treated the same under the law.
Voting Rights: In 1965, the Voting Rights Act was created to protect people from unfair treatment when they vote. This change helped lead to the 26th Amendment, which lowered the voting age to 18.
These examples help us see how changes in society can encourage updates to the Constitution, ensuring it stays important and useful for everyone.
