The Constitution, along with the Declaration of Independence, is one of the two most sacred documents in the US, containing 27 amendments that provide unalienable rights.
Article Five establishes a rigorous two-step process for adding amendments, ensuring only essential rights become part of the supreme law, reflecting the founding father's intent.
Over decades, various amendment proposals have emerged, ranging from serious considerations to entirely outlandish ideas, demonstrating the evolving political and social landscape of America.
Significant failed proposals include West Virginia's Byrd amendment for prayer in public schools, and the repeal of the 21st amendment aimed at banning alcohol once more.
