Perhaps the most remarkable aspect of the U.S. Constitution is that it outlines a process for changing it. Throughout the nation's history, only 27 out of roughly 12,000 proposed amendments have been adopted. As this new edition of the authoritative reference demonstrates, modifying the Constitution is not a thing of the past, as Congress today considers a variety of proposals for new amendments.
John R. Vile is professor of political science and dean of the University Honors College at Middle Tennessee State University, Murfreesboro, TN.
