Amending (or changing) the
Constitution is pretty much the
same thing…
![Page 10: More perfect union part ii](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062406/55aa2f7b1a28ab61598b46f1/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
…so why would we amend the
Constitution?
![Page 11: More perfect union part ii](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062406/55aa2f7b1a28ab61598b46f1/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Amending the U.S. Constitution
• Purpose
– The Constitution is a living document, it can be
changed as the country changes
![Page 12: More perfect union part ii](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062406/55aa2f7b1a28ab61598b46f1/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Amending the U.S. Constitution
• Step 1: Proposal
– Congress (Senators and Representatives) propose a
change in meeting sessions by 2/3 of the House and
the Senate
– Congress (Senators and Representatives) proposes a
change at a convention called for by 2/3 of the
states
![Page 13: More perfect union part ii](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062406/55aa2f7b1a28ab61598b46f1/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Amending the U.S. Constitution
• Step 2: Ratification
– State Legislatures then decide if they would like to
say yes (ratify) to the changes
![Page 14: More perfect union part ii](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062406/55aa2f7b1a28ab61598b46f1/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Amending the U.S. Constitution
• Step 3: A New Amendment
– A new change to the U.S. Constitution becomes the
law for each state in the country

Based on the excerpt,
Chief Justice John
Marshall exhibited his
leadership skills by –
1. Fighting for the rights of the American people
2. Writing most of the opinions of the Supreme Court
3. Persuading others to respect the decisions of the Supreme Court
President John Adams
appointed Marshall to the
Supreme Court in early 1801.
On assuming his duties on
March 5, Marshall took
immediate action to strengthen
the power of the Court. Thomas
Jefferson was coming into office
as president, and his party
dominated Congress.
Because Jefferson's party
opposed central federal powers,
Marshall feared his Court could
be ignored and marginalized. He
persuaded the justices to
support a single majority opinion
in all cases to make the voice of
the Court more authoritative.
