Twenty-Seventh Amendment

"No law, varying the compensation for the services of the Senators and Representatives, shall take effect, until an election of Representatives shall have intervened."

Congress Cannot give themselves a pay raise during term and have it take effect immediately. 

Twenty-Sixth Amendment

"The right of citizens of the United States, who are eighteen years of age or older, to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of age."

18 year old citizens are now giving the right to vote.

This was the Mantra of the 2008 elections that wanted to get the minority out and vote during the election year. 

Twenty-Fifth Amendment

"Section 1. In case of the removal of the President from office or of his death or resignation, the Vice President shall become President"

This amendment established a line of succession for the office of the Presidency.

This showed that if the President is inconpacitated then the Vice President will be sworn in.

Twenty-Fourth Amendment

This enforced that people did not have to pay a tax in order to vote.

This not just meant for then but also for now.  This will go for the requirement to purchase an id.

Twenty-Third Amendment

"Section 1. The District constituting the seat of Government of the United States shall appoint in such manner as the Congress may direct:
A number of electors of President and Vice President equal to the whole number of Senators and Representatives in Congress to which the District would be entitled if it were a State, but in no event more than the least populous State; they shall be in addition to those appointed by the States, but they shall be considered, for the purposes of the election of President and Vice President, to be electors appointed by a State; and they shall meet in the District and perform such duties as provided by the twelfth article of amendment."

Twenty-Second Amendment

"Section 1. No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once. But this article shall not apply to any person holding the office of President when this article was proposed by the Congress, and shall not prevent any person who may be holding the office of President, or acting as President, during the term within which this article becomes operative from holding the office of President or acting as President during the remainder of such term."

I am so happy he could only serve two terms.  Ugh! 

 We will never have a King in the United States although many people fear it.

Twenty-First Amendment

 "The eighteenth article to the Constitution of the United States is hereby repealed."

This hearby marked the end of the Prohibition age. 

So much for the women's movement.
