More About Amendments

Prior to 1850 the State Legis
lature had control of the schools
of the state. The law was chang.
ed because the Legislature would
borrow the school money,and had
built up great corrupt and rot.
ten practice. The constitution was
changed so to take the schools
from under the control of the
Legislature and it was done.
Until few years ago the Unit.
ed States Senators were elected
by the State Legislature. This
became so corrupt that an amend.
meut to constitution was chang
ed so the people now elect the
Senators.
Certain politicians IN both par.

first putting the schools under
control of the Legislature as they
were 10 years ago, and which
then was u dismal failure. Do
you wish TO turn TO this failure?
