Description
The non-Bill of Rights Amendments, 11 through 27, cover a host of different topics including government regulation, voting, and equality; and this week's episode covers part one of our efforts to rank these amendments from the bottom up. The goal is to cover how the Constitution is amended, and whether its possible for an amendment to be passed in the upcoming future. This episode covers rankings 17-9, which include amendments that appear non-consequential, amendments that seem like objectively bad ideas, and amendments that prohibit alcohol consumption. Law starts at (01:50).
