The 27th Amendmet keeps people in the government from drastically raising their salary before their term as a legislator, congressman, etc ends. if they do that then they leave with a very LARGE sum of money for themselves and it comes out of taxpayers pocket. It was originally proposed in 1789 but wasn't ratified until 1992.
