Problem
The purpose is to propose a new amendment. Remember that the purpose of a Constitutional Amendment is either to change something that is already laid out in the Constitution or to guarantee a right or freedom for the people by limiting the government's power in a specific area. Of course, these are limitations on the government, not complete bans. For example, the 1st Amendment guarantees the right to freedom of speech, but the government can still limit your speech if it is dangerous.
You must propose a new amendment, including the exact wording it should have. You must explain exactly what this amendment may accomplish and justify why the amendment is necessary. Finally, you must explain potential negative consequences from passing this amendment and address these points.
Nuts & Bolts
1) You will be using facts, examples, and your writing style to convince your audience of your point.
2) Your proposed amendment can either be one that should have been in the Bill of Rights from the start or that should be added now due to changes in the last 240+ years
3) You must include the exact text of the amendment you're proposing. Wording is very important!
4) You should include at least 4 facts, figures, statistics or examples. Do not use all of one category.
5) Mini-essay around three paragraphs long with five-eleven sentences in each paragraph.
