@avalsonline2 Amendments have always been ratified by "the Legislatures of three fourths of the several States" and never "Conventions in three fourths thereof"
-
@avalsonline2 You're incorrect. "The Congress, whenever two thirds of both Houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose Amendments to this Constitution, or, on the Application of the Legislatures of two thirds of the several States, shall call a Convention for proposing Amendments, which, in either Case, shall be valid to all Intents and Purposes, as Part of this Constitution, when ratified by the Legislatures of three fourths of the several States, or by Conventions in three fourths thereof"

@KayBeeEee1983 better read up on your constitution, friend. the procedure you are describing is one of 2 ways amendments are added to the constitution. it is also the procedure that has never been used.
and frankly i do not think the good people of the united states weregoing to let "those damn niggers" vote. or do you not remeber "segregation now, segregation forever" chant?

@avalsonline2 Congress can't add anything to the Constitution. Amendments are ratified by state legislatures. The federal government only has the powers delegated to it by the Constitution.

Remember when people protested stuff that actually meant something?

I though the Republican Party passed the Voting Rights Acts shortly after President Lincoln was assasinated....hmmm..must have been repealed...I wonder who????????

@TheTexasViper it wasnt repealed, states just found a way around the law. ie literacy tests, terrorism, that type of thing. you know, states rights stuff.

@avalsonline2 Of course the Constitution is a living document. Everybody knows that. The Founders made it so that the American people could change or add to the Constitution any time they wanted by adding new amendments. The VRA is unconstitutional because IT WAS NOT a constitutional amendment. It was an act of Congress. The whole purpose of the Constitution was/is to keep Congress from passing extra-constitutional legislation.

@Sistarovat actually, according to the supreme court the VRA is constitutional. atthe same time the court has ruled that literacy tests are unconstitutional.
