The 16th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution
The Sixteenth Amendment The Sixteenth Amendment By Joseph R. Fishkin, William E. Forbath, and Erik M. Jensen The Sixteenth Amendment, ratified in 1913, played a central role in building up the powerful American federal government of the twentieth century by making it possible to enact a modern, nationwide income tax. Before long, the income tax would become by far the federal government’s largest source of revenue.
The 20th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution
If awards were given to constitutional amendments for quietly doing their job without generating litigation or public controversy, certainly the Twentieth Amendment would be a contender for that prize. Ratified in 1935, it has never been the subject of a Supreme Court decision and has rarely been interpreted by lower courts. The Amendment has two principal sections.
The 19th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution
In the early days of the Republic, states typically limited the right to vote to “freeholders”—defined as persons who owned land worth a certain amount of money. It was thought that, among other things, property-less individuals had no stake in the community or might be inclined to vote for profligate spending, since they were not subject to property taxes. Still, land was cheap, and the qualification level was usually set low, so a large majority of free, adult males could vote.
Amendment XXVII - The United States Constitution
The Twenty-Seventh Amendment has one of the most unusual histories of any amendment ever made to the U.S. Constitution. Congress passed the Twenty-Seventh Amendment by a two-thirds vote of both Houses, in 1789, along with eleven other proposed constitutional amendments (the last ten of which were ratified by the states in 1791, becoming the Bill of Rights).
The 26th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution
The Twenty-Sixth Amendment The Twenty-Sixth Amendment By Jocelyn Benson and Michael T.
The 24th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution
The Twenty-Fourth Amendment The Twenty-Fourth Amendment By Deborah N. Archer and Derek T. Muller The Framers struck a bargain regarding the right to vote when they drafted the Constitution. The Constitution would not dictate the qualifications of voters—that matter would be left to the states. But the right to vote for members of the House of Representatives would be guaranteed to those eligible to vote for members of a state’s lower legislative chamber.
The 25th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution
The Twenty-Fifth Amendment The Twenty-Fifth Amendment By Brian C. Kalt and David Pozen The Twenty-Fifth Amendment seeks to answer a series of questions raised by the original Constitution’s treatment of presidential and vice-presidential vacancies and presidential disability. First, what happens when a presidential vacancy arises?
The 22nd Amendment of the U.S. Constitution
Twenty-Second Amendment Twenty-Second Amendment By F.H. Buckley and Gillian Metzger The Constitution’s Framers puzzled at length over how to select the president. In part, this reflected the novelty of the office. No such position existed under the Articles of Confederation, with Congress instead wielding both legislative and executive powers. The British monarch was an obvious but also troubling model, given the young republic’s recent revolution against British rule.
