Propose an amendment to add a civil right to the United States Constitution. Take care to follow all directions AND remember that civil liberties and civil liberties are not the same. Please take care to:

• Include the EXACT language of your amendment. For example, "Same sex marriage shall be lawful in the United States and its territories" OR "Congress shall ensure that all people in the United States are eligible for a free public education."
• State what category of rights your amendment falls into: equality or voting.
• NOT add rights that already explicitly exist in the Constitution (e.g., equality or voting) and do not take way rights (e.g., "in order to vote one must pass a literacy test."
• In a few sentences explain WHY you chose this amendment. Address (A) Why is the issue important and (B) how this will solve the issue.

Please don't use the examples I have provided Thank You

Constitutional Amendmenis: In crafting a constitutional amendment here are some points to please keep in mind. 1) 2 3] 4] 5) Include the language or text of the amendment you are drafting. Do not just describe it. Mote the difference between the following. (A) | will change the terms of a congressional term. [This is BAD because it never includes the change] and (B) The length of a congressional term shall be changed from 2 to &-year terms [This is 300D because it includes the change itself]. Constitutional language is both precise in spots and vague in others. | realize this sounds odd - but it is true. The key is to know when to be precise versus when to be vague. Here are some examples of precise language: \"Congress shall meet at least once a year.\" OR A congressional term shall be 2 years.\" Here are some examples of vague language: \"There shall be no cruel and unusual punishments.\" OR \"Presidents can be impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors.\" Here are some of constitutional amendments that are both precise and vague. &) Members of Congress shall be paid a salary which will be distributed monthly. [This is precise they will be paid monthly but never states the amount]. B) The House shall select a Speaker. This is specific as to who picks a speaker and that a speaker will be picked but it never speaks to what the speaker will do, if the speaker has to be a member of the House or by what vote is the speaker to be selected. Constitutional amendments typically occur in formats such as the ones found below: &) Someone or something [a specific official, a government or a branch] SHALL have the authority or the power to . B) Someone or something [a specific official, a government or a branch] SHALL NOT hawve the authority or the power to ) The people will have or enjoy a right/liberty to Matters of public policy that get very detailed are not typically part of the United 5tates Constitution. If they are they are not stated as rights or liberties. For example, laws that create school lunch programs would likely be addressed as follow: \"States/the United States shall provide free lunches for students.\" But not get into the details as to what is served. The Constitution may include numbers az far as years or votes required but would not include how much one is paid or what a lunch would include calorie wise it needs to be more flexible. Rewview real clauses. They tend to be reasonable. For example, an amendment may state the government has the authority to protect its people but an amendment promising that \"all people have a right to feel safe\" is both vague (safe from what/who defines safe) and unenforceable
