Question:

Taking away Ammendments?

0 LIKES UnLike

Who has the authority to change the ammendments? Can Congress change the ammendments with the approval of the President, and other political figures? Who can do so?

It would seem that government can do anything it wants, if everyone agrees, then who is to stop them from changing it?

Congress and the President rule our country. They don't see to a higher authority. See what I'm saying?
