Your amendment may clarify an amendment that is already within our Constitution, correct an error or omission, or create an entirely new right, obligation, or limit on our government. Please do your research before deciding which amendment you would like to create. A good resource may be our own Florida constitution, and the amendments we have chosen to include as a state. You may want to research a case from the Supreme Court that has clarified an amendment, and make that clarification your proposal.
The Constitution provides that an amendment may be proposed either by Congress with a 2/3 vote by both the Senate and the House OR by a constitutional convention as called for by 2/3 of the State legislatures, however our states have never called such a convention. The voted on amendment is then sent to the states for ratification. Therefore, you will be presenting your draft amendment to Congress and asking for a 2/3 vote so that your amendment may be sent to the states for final ratification.
Your final project will include the draft amendment, an annotated bibliography, and your final presentation. Your draft amendment should mirror in form the amendments that are already contained within the Constitution. Your annotated bibliography should contain between 3-5 references and an evaluative paragraph for each one that informs the reader the relevance of each reference. The final presentation should be some sort of multimedia presentation, whether that be PowerPoint, or something similar is your decision.
