Amendment Process ( page 9) Essential Questions: How does the Constitution protect our rights and freedoms? Explain the 2 steps of the amendment process.

Notes Rights and freedoms: Guarantees equality under the law with majority rule Rights of the minority protected Affirms (promises) individual worth and dignity of all people (= General Welfare) Protects the freedoms of religion, speech, press, petition, assembly

Sometimes the Constitution needs to be changed to protect these rights and freedoms A change to the Constitution is an AMENDMENT.

Amendment Process Every amendment starts with an IDEA (even you can propose an idea for an amendment!) The idea then goes through a 2-step process to insure the amendment is constitutional and wanted by the people. This is how DEMOCRACY works!

Amendment Process: Step #1: Proposal- ask for a change Step #2: Ratification- Get the change approved 2/3 vote for action by Congress (or state convention) 3/4 of states ratify

A good way to remember… Step 1 Proposal 2 by 3 Congress Step 2 Ratification 3 by 4 States

Article V of the Constitution outlines the amendment process Since 1791 27 amendments have been added The first 10 amendments were ratified immediately and called the “Bill of Rights”
