The cartoon strip must have a minimum of six (6) complete panels. 13th Amendment-Anti-Slavery [forbids slavery in the U.S. for any reason] 14th Amendment-Due Process and Equal Protection Clause [this supposedly prevents discrimination against Americans. 15th Amendment-Right to vote cannot be deprived based on race, color or previous slavery 16th Amendment-Income Tax [tax on money people earn] 18th Amendment-Prohibited making, having, selling and using drinking alcohol 19th Amendment-Right of women to vote 21stAmendment-Repealed [ended] prohibition against drinking alcohol which was the 18th Amendment. 22nd Amendment-Limit of 2 four year terms for the president 26th Amendment-Right to vote for U.S. citizens 18 years and older. Read the amendment [change/addition] carefully and decide what you believe it means [be sure to ask me any questions if you need help].
