After reviewing what you have learned in this course, especially the text of the United States Constitution, propose an amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Be sure to make an argument supporting your proposed amendment. Why should this change be made? How will it benefit the lives of Americans across the country? Why does this issue need a Constitutional Amendment and not just a state or federal law change? (75-150 words)

In at least 250 words reflect on your proposed amendment to the U.S. Constitution that you presented to your peers in the discussion board.. This assignment is about creating and communicating a fully developed argument.

First, describe your proposed amendment to the U.S. Constitution. (this is a thesis statement)

Second, present and describe three (3) arguments in support of your Amendment. Think especially about the ideas, themes, and nature of our nation's founding and political institutions. For example, do our founders ideas of what liberty means support you proposed amendment?

Third, address at least two 2 counter arguments that could be made by those that might oppose your proposed amendment. Describe those counter arguments fully and discuss why those counter arguments do not sufficiently counter your proposed amendment to the Constitution.

Finally, write a conclusion paragraph that restates your proposed change to the Constitution and reviews what you believe to be the most compelling argument in support of your proposed amendment.
