POLS210 FORUM FOR WEEK 1

Excluding the Bill of Rights (the first ten amendments), analyze and assess one amendment to the US Constitution. Choose from amendments 11-27. How well has the amendment of your choice functioned as intended, and in what ways does it affect you? Provide its background and influence on the United States, and consider choosing one of the lesser known amendments.

Post by 11:55 pm (ET) on Friday; include citations or URLs for your work, and provide substantive replies to the posts to your classmates by 11:55 pm (ET) on Sunday. Please see the rubric linked below for grading standards.

Assignment responses should be no less than 300 words and no more than about 500 words, while student replies should be no less than 150 words and no more than about 300 words.

Remember that a 300-word post and 150-word replies are the bare minimum requirements to earn a grade of a "C" or higher, but they will not automatically result in an "A" for a grade. Again, please review the rubric for details.
