I need to pick an ammendment for a 7-9 page paper, and I'm not sure which one to do.?

Question

She said we should touch immigration, and to be specific on the ammendment

Answer 1

One that is the news all the time is how president bush decided to mess up our freedom of privacy with illegal wire tapping(listening in on our phone conversations).

Answer 2

The United States has a long history of regulating immigration, dating back to the 1860s. Early legislation, such as the 1924 National Origins Act and the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952, sought overall limits on immigration, but strongly favored immigrants from Europe over other regions of the world.

It was the Immigration and Nationality Act Amendments of 1965, however, which set in motion a powerful set of forces that are still shaping the United States today. The 1965 Amendments ushered in sweeping changes to immigration policy by abolishing the national origins quota system as the basis for immigration and replacing it with a seven-category preference system for the allocation of immigrant visas.

Either of these two ammendments would make for a good paper.

I've also listed a good website below for you....

Hope this helps...good luck.

Answer 3

The United States Constitution does not deal with the question of immigration.

The 14th Amendment includes the so-called "due process" clause, which may have some relevance to your topic.

Answer 4

The entire bill of rights is extemely fascinating and it would be very easy to do that much and more about them. When your adding in immigrations though, I would focus on the amendments about voting. How it evovled from beign just rich white man with property to how eventually all races, and later all genders were allowed to vote. That way you can talk about he Jim Crow laws, and the african americans moving to the north to be able to vote because they were held back in the south.
