Amendment Project

We chose amendments for our Amendment Project.

Amendment Project:
1. Explain your amendment
2. In what year was your amendment passed
3. Explain the reason your amendment was necessary
4. Find one Supreme Court case concerning your amendment. Tell us about the case and its importance.

Rules for a successful presentation
--Research should be done well in advance.
--Put the important things on note cards.
--Rehearse your presentations.

You may not read from computer printouts. Your notes must be hand-written or typed onto cards.
