Write an amendment that you strongly believe the United States Constitution needs. Please do not write any satirical responses; only amendments that deal with what you would think of as a serious issue. I’m looking for forward thinking, critical proposals. Please read past amendments to see the typical style (syntax, tone and diction) of an amendment. Also, note that most amendments are a few sentences long.
Then write a statement (300 – 500 words) that would persuade the average voter to pass your amendment if put on a ballot.
Use the following page formats
Arial font size 12
Margins (1 inch all the way around)
Single space in paragraphs, with a double space between paragraphs.
Please read the attached document for other instructions and to see examples of amendments which were not successfully added to the U.S. Constitution.

1. LOWERING DRINKING AGE TO 18
