About

Welcome to 4mend. The U.S. Constitution was drafted in 1787. Since then it has undergone twenty-seven changes. The most notable was the Bill of Rights in 1791, which resulted in the first twelve amendments. The most recent amendment was ratified in 1992. It is time we return our focus to this endeavor.

Article V - The Amendment Path

The path to a Constitutional Amendment is set forth in Article V, which provides, "The Congress, whenever two thirds of both houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose amendments to this Constitution, or, on the application of the legislatures of two thirds of the several states, shall call a convention for proposing amendments, which, in either case, shall be valid to all intents and purposes, as part of this Constitution, when ratified by the legislatures of three fourths of the several states, or by conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other mode of ratification may be proposed by the Congress; provided that no amendment which may be made prior to the year one thousand eight hundred and eight shall in any manner affect the first and fourth clauses in the ninth section of the first article; and that no state, without its consent, shall be deprived of its equal suffrage in the Senate."
