What was the historical context of the passage of the 18th and 19th amendments to the us constitution?
The 18th Amendment, ratified in 1919, established Prohibition, reflecting the Progressive Era's social reform movements aimed at curbing alcohol consumption due to its perceived negative effects on society. This period also saw the rise of the women's suffrage movement, culminating in the passage of the 19th Amendment in 1920, which granted women the right to vote. Both amendments emerged from a broader context of social change and activism, driven by a desire for greater moral and political agency in American life. The interplay of these movements highlighted the tensions between individual liberties and societal norms during the early 20th century.

Why does the passage of the 12th amendment support the idea that the constitution is a living constitution?
I don't believe the twelfth amendment supports the idea any more than the other amendments. The idea of a living constitution is the belief that the constitution must change and evolve as our country does and all the amendments are support of that idea because amendments are change. It also comes from the notion that the constitution is purposely broad so as to leave it open for interpretation and change.
