Before I ran for office, I studied and taught history. The stories of the people who fought to amend the U.S. Constitution are some of the most compelling stories I shared with my students over the years. From the first ten amendments to our national Constitution â that powerful Bill of Rights â to the 13th Amendment that abolished slavery, and the 19th Amendment that expanded voting rights, they are bold declarations of our values. The amendment process itself is an important part of our struggle to form a more perfect union.
