they are not irrevocable...
remember prohibition?
that involved removal of a constitutional right then its reinstatement... |
Prohibition was an amendment. An amendment requires that three quarter of the states ratify it. It was approved by the people. This is how it's done. They can't be made into law or taken away without the consent of the people.
But I don't agree that it removed a Constitutional right. It banned liquor. There was nothing in the Constitution prior to the 18th Amendment in 1919, that mentions liquor. It should have been a non-issue. Later it was proven to be, when the 21st Amendment in 1933 repealed it. It should never have been an Amendment in the first place.[/b][/quote]
what are the first 10 ammendments?
