Article 5 Day 2

Today in Western Civ, we continued to work on our Article project. We added Kp to our group. Today Mr. Schick was not here. Here is some more information on Article 5...Future generations can amend the Constitution if the society so requires it. Both the states and Congress have the power to initiate the amendment process. There are 27 Amendments. At least ⅔ of The House of Representatives and Senate must approve the amendment. The Amendments were made to protect the rights of the people. Article 5 is a single paragraphs telling how you can change or add to the U.S Constitution.   Article 5 of the US Constitution states that constitutional amendments have to be passed by a two-thirds majority in both houses of the legislature.The amendment must then be ratified by three-fourths of states. and then by the states. Alternative procedures are also provided, but these are rarely used.
