The 27th Amendment to the United States Constitution, ratified in 1992, was originally proposed in 1789. It was designed to limit congressional pay increases, stipulating that any change in compensation for members of Congress would not take effect until after the next election. The amendment was passed to promote accountability and prevent lawmakers from granting themselves immediate pay raises without public oversight. Its long delay in ratification reflects the complexities of the amendment process and changing societal values regarding government transparency and ethics.
