Except it isn't surprising at all. Prohibition was a large component of early women's suffrages movements amidst other things such as education and prison reform. Prohibition was favored by many feminists because it represented a violent household, the drunken father/husband, the drunkard on the street, etc. Feminists across the board pushed for prohibition and its passage into legislation further paved the path for women's right to vote as a whole.

Prohibition and Suffrage actually went hand in hand. It was considered unacceptable for women to go out and protest regarding their rights, but demanding action about drunk husbands or domestic abuse as the result of alcohol was fine. If anything, prohibition led to suffrage, and suffrage led to prohibition.

After that they can still hold you for 60 days before that trial happens... unless they find a reason to delay it, which they can do. The 60 days itself is enough to completely derail someone's life if they are innocent and have nobody to bail them out.

There were 12 Amendments proposed by the first Congress, which ten of them were ratified very soon and became the first to the tenth Amendments. One of the two pending amendments was rediscovered and ratified lately and became the 27th Amendment. This is because when these first 12 Amendments were proposed, the founding fathers forgot to set a time limit of when they need to get enough states ratification or they will be failed, hence the 27th Amendment, first proposed in 1789, was approved in 1992, it took 202 years, 7 months and 10 days to be ratified. The Congressional Apportionment Amendment is the other amendment that is still in the state of "approved by the Congress, awaiting ratification by states" it had been ratified by 11 states, last time by Kentucky in 1792. For the current 50 states of the US, this Amendment will require 27 more states to ratify it.

Correction for the explanation of the 2nd amendment: The second amendment guarantees the individual right to keep and bear arms, and the states right to maintain a militia ("well regulated" is antiquated language that means something entirely different today). The individual right is not earmarked by "recreation, hunting, defense". It is an unlimited right. The 2nd presumptively protects everything from knives and computer viruses, to tanks and fighter jets (supported by various founding documents, particularly in reference to privateers and privately owned battleships). The 2nd also presumptively protects the carriage of said arms, provided you are not carrying them in a manner (as outlined in the common law of Northampton, one of many founding documents) that is dangerous and unusual, as in a manner which would reasonably create fear of great bodily harm. The constitution, in particular the 2nd, does NOT disbar peoples rights based on immigration status, criminal history, or any other reason. The 2nd does NOT allow for delays in the exercise of the right, as outlined by the language "shall not be infringed" There is more nuance here, but I want to keep this as short as possible.

@markhilsen2528 2 күн бұрын

Isn't it true that "the common law of Northampton", although often cited, when research has drilled down deeply (and anything firearms/Second Amendment related is usually of intense interest), there is no "there" there? That the source document cannot be located or confirmed? If so, then the citation itself is invalid. If anything, confirming this is the case -- maybe by a simple "despite diligent research, we have been unable to confirm the oft-cited 'common law of Northampton' is a legitimate and true citation; that we have found no evidence that it existed within recognized scholarship." NYSRPA vs. Bruen, Heller, and McDonald would experienced far fewer interpretive perversions if Northampton's legitimacy had been challenged early on.

It's not so much polarization that no Amendment will pass again. It's due to the fact the Amendments nearly everyone can agree upon. Are Amendments that would actively "harm" sitting legislators. 87% of Americans support Congressional term limits, 79% support an age cap on federally elected officials, and 74% favor placing a mandatory retirement age on Supreme Court Justices. All three of those would be Amendments Congress, regardless of Party, has an active interest in making sure never get ratified. And the only way any Amendments will ever be made to the Constitution again would be via an Article V Convention. Which 19 of the 34 needed states have already passed resolutions calling for one. North Carolina passed a resolution in the House last year. And if it ever passes the Senate they'll be state number 20. Edit: Numbers came from Pew Research

@SteveSherman-ij5gm The Constitution was a piece of shit right from the start. I don't get people who claim it was inspired by God. The very document that proclaims that all men are born with inalienable rights that cannot be taken away then proceeds to take it away for slaves and women. The document prohibits the U.S. from having a standing military (thus, the Second Amendment's necessity to be able to raise a militia), yet we've had one for many years through a dubious legal loophole. Inspired by God, indeed.

I doubt you could find any ideology that is actually content with our current state of things. But the real scary thing about fascism is that it is a laterally-centrist philosophy, which is what caused it to be picked up so easily by all of the younger university students back in the 1920s.

i'm sure everyone's got some quip they want to add to a few of these amendments and how they are presented here, but I'll just focus on one - the 17th direct election of senators did not add anything to democracy - the people had always had a house of congress to which they directly elected representatives. Rather the 17thA removed the constitutional condition that senators were appointed by state legislatures. Why does this matter? Well, think of this - why do we have 2 houses of congress, if basically they only differ in their size, length of term, and salaries? The purpose of a bicameral congress, and why certain powers and responsibilities were assigned to either the house or the senate, was so that both the people AND the states would have a representative on the federal level. The 17thA destroyed the states' ability to have representation in D.C., neutered the 2 house of congress, and muddied people's understanding of the role of their rep vs their senator to this very day.

One of my adult education teachers back in Saint Louis served in the military and talked about how if you're old enough to serve in the military and die for your country then you should be able to drink. After a few years I honestly think this is a very grey topic. You should have the freedom to drink if you are old enough to be in the military but there's an undeniable fact that eighteen year olds in general are pretty stupid and could get into trouble given the opportunity.

The constitutional journey outlined here is a fascinating narrative of the fundamental principles that underpin the United States. From the First Amendment, a guardian of individual freedoms, to the nuanced complexities of the 18th Amendment attempting social improvement through prohibition, each step reveals the evolving landscape of American ideals. The inclusion of the 19th Amendment, a beacon for gender equality, and the 26th Amendment, recognizing the civic responsibility of younger adults, showcase the nation's commitment to inclusivity and democratic participation. The commentary on media coverage and the importance of diverse perspectives adds a contemporary layer, emphasizing the ongoing relevance of these constitutional pillars. It's not just a historical account; it's a reflection of the enduring pursuit of justice, liberty, and equality.

This is something else that they don't teach enough about in high school anymore. Either that, or I just happened to have an excellent Civics teacher my senior year in high school. A semester of Civics was a required course for all 12th grade students before graduation. As much as I hated high school, the teacher I had made the class very interesting. At the time (1982) the Equal Rights amendment was expected to be the 27th attached to the constitution which apparently never happened. After teaching us in great detail how the first 26 amendments came about, Mr Z asked all of us to come up with our own amendment and figure out all the steps it would take to get our amendment attached to the constitution. Being a typical 17 year old, I couldn't come up with anything other than an amendment that would force American drivers in all US states to start driving on the left side of the road instead of the right. Why did I come up with that? Hell if I know. My assignment was to spend the next week charting all the steps I would take to get my law from an idea to an amendment. It was a cool assignment that taught me how our constitution and its amendments work. That was 42 years ago. My oldest granddaughter recently graduated high school and knows squat about the constitution or any amendments. When I asked her what she learned in Civics, now called American Government, she said all they learned was about protecting the rights of people that want to use whatever bathroom they please and all the other snowflake propaganda. Nothing in her class was balanced. It was either "protect the rights of these people or you are a Communist"

And I shouldn’t have to bring up that at the time, a gun couldn’t shoot hundreds of rounds a minute, and actually required skill and discipline to use. No one at that time was worried about a child taking a gun out in public and killing rooms full of people, because it just couldn’t happen. Also, background and mental health checks are easy to pass if you have nothing to hide and are of sound mind. If you have guns and are responsible with them then any gun control laws that the moderate left want to pass won’t affect you, it’s only the radical left that don’t want any guns and they have the least amount of power in US politics. TLDR: please just have a little gun control, just enough to keep kids safe.

And here I am watching this and checking the boxes of every one of the rights we're supposed to have that are being willfully and openly violated right now today, quite openly and enthusiastically by the current "regime." I'm a particular fan of the 4th amendment, since the IRS now uses AI to snoop on my bank account, accessing my private financial documents right now today without a warrant or probable cause. A runner up would have to be the 8th amendment where Trump supporters at J6 were held in jail in conditions that would be considered cruel and unusual for up to 18 months pending trial before being sentenced to literally _years_ more in prison for the "crime" of walking through a public building while the police watched and escorted. It's a twofer, with both the 6th and 8th amendment violations being openly cheered by half the country. I could go on. I'm well past the point of childhood naivete about "rights." Rights exist only as long as government agrees to uphold them. And if the gov't chooses not to, it's the gov't's job to stop it (great plan! They investigated themselves and found they did nothing wrong!).
