Which amendment can be classified generally as dealing with individual rights?
the first ten amendments
What amendment allows rights to fair procedures in contacts with government?
The concept you are asking about is called "due process". It is guaranteed by the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments. The Fifth Amendment guarantees due process when dealing with the federal government, while the Fourteenth Amendment guarantees it when dealing with State governments.
What are the 3 most important amendments and why?
I can think of three groups, but I can't guarantee this is what you're looking for. The first group is the Bill of Rights ratified in 1791 and encompassing the first ten amendments. The second group is the Reconstruction amendments following the Civil War and all dealing with the status of slaves or rather former slaves following the thirteenth amendment. That would be the 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments. The third group that comes to mind is the Progressive Era amendments which were the 16th, 17th, 18th, and 19th amendments.
What refers to a limited change dealing with only one or a few provisions of a constitution?
Amendment.
What 6 amendments deal with expanding voting rights?
There are only 3 amendments dealing with suffrage: the 15th, 19th, and the 26th. The 15th amendment gave voting rights to all male citizens, the 19th amendment gave all women the right to vote, and the 26th amendment changed the voting age from 21 to 18. Technically, as the 14th Amendment defines citizenship, it also affects suffrage, as only citizens are allowed to vote. Also, the 24th Amendment forbids poll taxes (and similar items), which were used to disenfranchise many poorer blacks (even though they technically had the right to vote, they couldn't meet the "other" requirements set out by Jim Crow laws). While the 13th Amendment outlaws slavery, it does not have anything specific with suffrage (it does not grant suffrage to anyone - even though it outlawed slavery, without the 15th to grant citizenship, the 13th does not give anyone voting rights).
What amendment repeals another amendment?
The 18th Amendment (dealing with prohibition) was repealed by the 21st Amendment because of its lack of usefulness. People were still drinking, but the government couldn't benefit from this at all (taxes, anyone?) and so they eventually decided that it was better to just keep drinking alcohol legal but put more restrictions on it.
What role does the Supreme Court play in the amendment process?
it proposes and passes amendments

Which amendment protects citizens against the abuse of government authority?
The 4th Amendment protects us from illegal searches and seizures. The 6th Amendment protects us from the police proceeding to charge us with a crime without having an attorney present, to ensure that we fully understand what we are being charged for, among other things. The 7th Amendment guarantees us the right to have a trial by a jury of our peers. The 8th Amendment protects us from cruel and unusual punishment by the police as well as excessive fines and bail. If you are not born in the US or not of US decent and now live in the country, the 14th Amendment defines the terms of citizenship which protects us from illegally being deported. To name a few...hope this helps
What is the amendment that only the president can veto a bill?
There is no such amendment. The Constitution itself says this. (Article I, section 7... it's located, somewhat confusingly, in the Article dealing primarily with the Legislative, rather than the Executive, branch, because it has to do with the procedure for making laws.)
What amendment requires people not wearing seatbelts to be fined?
An amendment is an addition to the constitution. There is no federal amendment dealing with seat belts. To the best of my knowledge, this is not addressed by any state constitution either. Seat belts and other traffic laws are covered by state statutes. Without knowing your state, I couldn't tell you which statute allows you to receive a fine for not wearing one.
Did the founding fathers intend for the US Constitution to be easy or difficult to amend?
Difficult, but doable with broad public support.The Constitution calls for the proposal of a constitutional amendment to be passed by 2/3 of both houses of Congress (or 2/3 of a national convention called by Congress--never been done). A 2/3 majority is hard to come by in Congress...that's the same majority needed to overturn a presidential veto, which rarely occurs.After an amendment is proposed, it has to be ratified by either 3/4 of the state legislatures or 3/4 of state conventions. All but 1 of the amendments have been ratified by state legislatures. The one exception was the 21st amendment, dealing with the repeal of Prohibition, which was ratified by state conventions.Of the 27 amendments to the Constitution, the first 10 came early on as a condition for the ratification of the Constitution. The other 17 have been scattered over 200 years of history.So, the process is difficult, but changes can be made. Had the Founders made the amendment process easier, it would have weakened the document and our government because of the fickle nature of public opinion. This would have led to legal uncertainties with an ever-changing constitution.Incidentally, this reasoning also led to the division of Congress into two houses.
