Which amendments changed specific language of the constitution?
Jmy1015
I'm also struggling to answer this question for part of my summer assignment. I'm pretty sure that the 21st Amendment changes the language of the Constitution because it is repealing a previous amendment. I also think that the 17th Amendment possibly qualifies because it is changing the way Senatrs are elected. Im also fairly sure that the 13th Amendment changes language because it overturns the Fugitive Slave clause in Article IV. Possibly the 23rd, because it grants the right to vote to residents of D.C., which is not a state. The constitution says that only states have the right to vote blah, blah, blah. This one I'm really not sure about but it's possible that the 26th Amendment also changed specific language. Before this passed the voting age was 21, and this lowered it to 18, making me think that it had to change something, but it might have just been a law, I don't really know.
Sorry this is so obscure, I , but like I said, I'm struggling with this question as well. This is what I came up with but I'm not sure it's right.
