Why were abolition drinking age and suffrage controversies why the constitution was written?
The abolition of the drinking age and the suffrage movement were not directly related to the original writing of the Constitution, which primarily focused on establishing a framework for government and protecting individual rights. However, these issues reflect the evolving interpretation of rights and liberties over time. The Constitution's framers intended for it to be a living document that could adapt to societal changes, which later allowed for amendments addressing voting rights and legal drinking age. These controversies highlight the ongoing struggle for equality and the expansion of civil rights within the constitutional framework.
