I would like to see a list of failed ammendments -- proposed ammendments which were proposed by Congress but never recieved the requisite number of ratifications from the states. The second extra ammendment contained in the Bill of Rights would be one important one (I keep on hearing it mentioned, but never what it said). Another quite important one would be the Equal Rights Ammendment. I'd probably forget about ammendments which failed at the stage of Congress though -- simply because there are thousands of them (ammendments to abolish the electoral college, to reinstitute official prayers in public schools, etc.) -- SJK |
