How did the nth amendment effect a change that more closely matched the original goals of the framers?
The nth amendment, which can refer to various amendments depending on context, generally aimed to address specific issues that arose after the Constitution was ratified, aligning more closely with the framers' original goals of ensuring a functional and just government. For instance, amendments such as the Bill of Rights (the first ten amendments) were introduced to protect individual liberties and limit government power, reflecting the framers' intent to safeguard citizens' rights. Over time, subsequent amendments have aimed to extend democratic principles, such as suffrage and equality, thereby making the foundational ideals of the framers more inclusive and relevant to a diverse population. Overall, these amendments have sought to fulfill the framers' vision of a government that evolves while maintaining core democratic principles.

Describe two informal methods that have been used to change the meaning of Constitution?
There are many ways to informally change the Constitution since the founders left many elements of our government open to interpretation. One method is via the elastic clause found in Article I, Section 8, Clause 18 of the Constitution. This clause gives Congress the ability to pass any law deemed "necessary and proper" for carrying out it's expressed powers. For example, nowhere in the Constitution did it specify that the federal government had the power to establish a national bank but it did any way. When this action was challenged by the in the federal courts in the case of McCulloch v. Maryland (1819), the U.S. Supreme Court had to determine if this action by Congress was legal under the Constitution. The government argued that since it had the powers to tax, borrow, coin money, and spend it is implied that they have the right to establish a national bank since this would make their job related to these areas much easier. The Court agreed and the Constitution was informally changed. Another informal method of changing the Constitution is through the development of political custom or tradition. For example, nowhere in the Constitution does it mention anything about a President having a cabinet to assist him in making decisions. This was developed over the years by president's themselves as the need for assistance and advice arose. The most famous is Andrew Jackson's so called "kitchen cabinet" and once this custom was set this form of meeting has become a regular fixture for presidents present and future.
