About this Quiz

The U.S. Constitution is a living document that has been amended 27 times since its ratification in 1788. These amendments reflect the evolving needs and values of the American society. They address a wide range of issues, from the abolition of slavery to the right to vote, and from the prohibition of alcohol to the right to bear arms. Understanding these amendments is not only crucial to understanding the U.S. Constitution, but also the historical and societal changes that have shaped the United States as we know it today. The process of amending the Constitution is a rigorous one, requiring the proposal of an amendment by a two-thirds majority in both the House of Representatives and the Senate, followed by ratification by three-fourths of the states. This process ensures that amendments reflect a broad consensus among the American people and their elected representatives. Despite the high bar for amendment, the Constitution has been successfully amended multiple times, reflecting the ability of the American political system to adapt and change over time.
