FrontPage: Why is the amendment process important? Last Word: OL 3.4 – Summarize all amendments for Thurs. Visualized: World's largest QR code is a Canadian maize maze That's how the Kraay family of Lacombe, Alberta, Canada gets down. Said QR code sends adventurous scanners to a website for the Kraay's family farm website. The code also got the Kraays into the Guinness Book of World Records for "World's Largest QR Code.” At approximately 1.1 square miles, that's quite a bit of carefully crafted corn designing.

Amending the Constitution The only constant, is change…

The US Constitution  Is the oldest written constitution still in effect **Why do you think the Constitution has been able to survive for 220 years? Why is the amendment process so important?

How can it be amended/changed?  What are the 2 steps in the amendment process?

Step 1: Proposing the Amendment…

 What is the most common way that amendments are proposed? What is the method that has never been used?

Sample Constitutional Amendment in Congress

Step 2: Ratifying the Amendment  Once an amendment has been officially proposed by Congress or a national convention, it must be sent to the 50 states for their approval.  There are 2 ways that states can ratify, or agree to, amendments…

Step 2: Ratifying Amendments  What is the most common way that states can ratify?  What is the method that has only been used once?

Who determines which ratification methods are used?  What else does Congress decide (in the text of the amendment?)

How many total amendments?  The first 10 amendments were ratified in 1791  What were these called?  Since then, 17 amendments have been ratified for a total of 27

Evaluating Proposed Amendments  When considering whether you would support a proposed Constitutional amendment, there are 3 questions you should ask about the amendment… 1) Is there a “pressing need” in American society for the amendment? 2) Is the amendment consistent with American values and the values of the Constitution? (as you define them)? 3) What are the possible consequences (pro and con) if the amendment passes?
