Difference (from prior major revision) (no other diffs)

We shouldn't have or encourage our own commentary on the amendments. I imagine the best thing to do, for now, is to move the text of the amendments to [United States Constitution/Amendment N Text]? and legal knowledge about the amendments, and history, etc., under the present amendment pages such as the United States Constitution/Amendment Seventeen. Kind of a headache... --LMS

not particularly, now that I have a clue. I just think that the bare amendments are not particularly informative - since they don't show what was amended! And then there's the history (the so-called "progressiveness" of direct election, which is what has led to the "progressiveness" of "campaign finance reform" etc., etc. *sigh*.

I'll move it. --MichaelTinkler
