If you could add an amendment to the constitution, what would it be?

[NoMoreWhiteWoman2020]

Free education?
Weed becomes legal?
A maximum wage limit like the minimum?
Access to birth care?
Congressional term limits?

What do you think could get 35/50 states to ratify something? And before we go there I think America keeps things illegal for a reason, they learned from prohibition.

I don’t even think 35/50 states would ratify the constitution as it is right now

• I can force tech companies to delete anything about me off the internet (doesn't count for people convicted of a violent felony, financial fraud, etc. - we can't have sex offenders or tech scammers using this right to stay hidden; they forfeited it when they committed their crime)
• The government has no right to interfere in my health care decisions (for example, if a terminally ill person chooses medical suicide)
• The government has no right to access my data unless I am directly implicated in a crime; the NSA can't, for example, scoop up data on citizens just to do it

• Education First- Allow inner cities to have a huge surplus to bettering the schools, from textbooks to teacher pay. Furthermore, bring back school programs, have accessibility to colleges, and focus on trade and career oriented plans for the future. Also better food besides the jail shyt kids have to endure.
• The Welcome Back Home Act-This will help low class and homeless families have assistance without all the fluff and heavy ridicule. Also, it will be run with a strict force focusing on mental health support, food assistance, and rent support up to a year given the severity of the situation. Additionally abandoned buildings will be used for hotel and housing purposes with strict regiments (this is not the shelter and also 3 strike rule if you are on some other shyt)
• Eliminate Blight- I'm tired of seeing blocks of abandoned buildings. So this act will turn these buildings into housing for the homeless, job departments, schools, and various forms of support to various communities. Also the business folks that allow these businesses to be abandoned without no sort of action will be fined or have to release the property to an organization that will provide resources to the community.
• Mental Healthcare for All- It's time to make a stand to fixing the mental health issues in this country. So this act will hazard pay counselors, therapists, and allow clinics to provide resources, medication, and treatment of mental illnesses throughout the country. Also, there will be enhanced rehab programs that will help folks kick the habit as it will go hand to hand with mental illness treatment.

Honestly, these 4 acts of law will fix the deeply rooted problems with this country as it gives the youth hope, provides jobs, resources, and make people proud to be an American off the strength of actually feeling like they belong in this country

Come on Trumper, add to the list; a constitutional amendment for presidents to have total immunity? How about governors too?

To add to your point that’s crazy because it’s one of shortest ever but Alabama has the longest constitution out of any nation or state.

What would you codify?

Off the top of my head

1) Get Rid of Bicameral Legislation
2) Get Rid of Electoral college
3) Winner takes all Federal Elections
4) End gerrymandering.

I'm sure if I sat down and really thought about it, I'd come up with more granular stuff.

Ownership of data.

You own your data and corporations must compensate you for any data they get from you. This is YOUR data being exploited for profit. All Americans should have the right to own their data. Your data is yours and yours alone to lease or sell how you see fit.

I'd make healthcare a right.

You cannot convince me that the government has a responsibility to keep Americans safe with a military, and in the same breath tell me the government does not have a responsibility to see Americans have access to healthcare.

This is a great one. If you're charged with a felony the data from the past 6 months is game (and would still require subpoena). But beyond that, if i request that my shyt is deleted. You gotta delete it. If you're convicted, you give up that right for a decade. I'd add onto this the right to not be used for AI training models.

If you can prove that the image, creative work, written piece or video is yours, then you have the right to bar it from ANY and all AI training models. If that is not obeyed you have the right to legally pursue any company that violates said amendment.

These aren't amendments, these are policies. Amendments focus on individual rights and not the policy decisions of municipalities. There's no way you could federally legislate blight especially because that land is individually/privately owned. The only thing you could do is levy taxes that make it untenable to maintain vacant blighted land. And that responsibility would fall to the states.

Also amendments do not control how much state/local employees are compensated (only congress). Any attempt to do so would be a gross overreach of federal power. Federal education standards could be one, but I'm not sure if that falls into the need of being an Amendment.

Healthcare for All would be the only thing you could potentially federally mandate: "Every American citizen, born or naturalized, has the right to obtain physical/mental healthcare that shall be paid for/provided by the State. Citizens are also free to pay for additional healthcare should the State's services prove insufficient."
