 Chapter Amendments 11-27

Over the years a great change in attitude of who can be a citizen and who has the right to vote. When our Constitution was created the original voters were white men who owned property. Today "We the People" has a broader meaning today. We will look at the amendments that insured the right to vote to African Americans, look at the stuggels of women gaining the right to vote as well as looking at the voting age lowered to 18. In the end we will describe the amendment process of how Americans have a voice in their government.
