Each amendment research paper must have a minimum of two scholarly sources.
1. Explain precisely what your amendment would add or change to the constitution. What
would this do? How would this have affected the early Republic? Or even today?
2. Why would this amendment have been beneficial to the United States? Would it have any
negative effects?
3. Would this amendment would have been passable in the 1790’s? Why or why not?
4. Which groups in the 1790’s would support or oppose this amendment (parties, interest
groups, etc)? Why?
5. Would this amendment have lasted until the modern day without modification?
6. How would this fundamentally change the American project?
Lastly, I will need you to reflect on the paper near the conclusion, elaborating on how this
project enhanced your understanding of American politics, and how you could use this
information to enhance your community and overall equity.
