Amendments to the United States Constitution

The United States Constitution is a document that outlines the rules and regulations for governing the country. Over time, changes have been made to ensure that the rights of American citizens are protected. These changes are known as Amendments and are continually modified. The most recent change was made in the early 1970s during the Vietnam War, which lowered the voting age to 18. The first ten amendments are called the Bill of Rights and were created by the founding fathers. They cover all the things that the settlers found wrong with the rule. These amendments are essential in securing basic and other rights for American citizens. The Amendments to the Constitution ensure that the country remains democratic, fair and just for all.
