I propose amendment to repeal the 22nd amendment of a two term limit on presidency. I believe that this amendment should be repealed because many presidents have proven that they are worthy of having more than two terms of presidency. For example, Franklin D.

Rosevelt was doing so much good for the people of the United States, that they didn’t want his presidency to end at just 2 terms. He proved that he was preforming all of the duties that are essential to the president of the United States.

Based on the edicts and guidelines proposed in The Seventeen Article Constitution, it can be inferred that Japanese rulers faced several internal problems and conflicts that Shotoku hoped to resolve through the creation of this document.

The 26th amendment states “The right of citizens of the United States, who are eighteen years of age or older, to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of age.” My opinion on the 26 amendment is that the voting age should be lowered to 16 instead of 18. I also believe the 2nd amendment should be change which also expresses “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” Changing the 26th amendment could gradually increase society being safer. I feel the 26th amendment should be change because people of teenage years seem to know just as much about politics as much as older people.

Two changes I would make in the constitution both fall into the second article. This is the article concerning the presidential election process and duties. While other articles could of course be modified in some way or another, I find that the two changes I came up with could be agreed with by almost everyone. I tried to make these decision not based on how I feel about politics and my beliefs, but instead I made my decisions based on what is best for everybody. I wanted to put my political affiliation aside for this question because in the grand scheme of things what I will suggest are things that could legitimately be addressed without too much complication.

In the common law, “a felony was defined as any crime for which the perpetrator could be compelled to forfeit his property-both real and personal-in addition to being subject to punishment through the procedures of death, imprisonment, or fine; generally the punishment is jail for more than one year or incarceration in state prison” (Chamelin & Thomas, 2012, p. 10 & 18).
