12th-16th Amendment
12th Amendment-The 12th amendment was passed in 1804, 4 years after the 1800 election. In the 1800 election, Burr and Jefferson tied the presidential election. Jefferson was made POTUS while Burr was demoted to VPOTUS and they did not exactly agree on politics. The 12th made stipulated presidential tickets where a president and vice president were elected together.
13th Amendment-The 13th amendment was made 61 years later, right after the civil war outlawing involuntary servitude; aka slavery. There are however some exclusions by duties, such as a military draft or having to serve time in jail. This obviously did not abolish racism that pretty much still is around today a bit. Little do people know but many states in the south abolished slavery before the end of the civil war, just to get it over with. They would have had to sign an agreement to follow the constitution if they wanted to be a part of the United States anyway.
14th Amendment- The 14th amendment says that if you were born in America, you are a U.S. citizen and have all the rights of a citizen. This is why a lot of illegals come over the boarder and have babies in America because of equal protection and you cannot really take a baby's parent away from them if their parent is an illegal but you are a citizen.
15th Amendment-The 15th amendment was passed in 1870 when racism was everywhere in the south. It says that regaurdless of skin color, you have the right to vote. "Now each male over 21 years of age, regardless of color, was to be counted" (Your Rugged 231) Unfortunately the white people would sometimes scare the black people away and/or they would have a poll tax.
16th Amendment-There was another gap within passing amendments and in 1913 and the 16th made federal income tax legal. Every tax payer loves the 16th oh and by the way...............DOWN WITH THE IRS!
