An informal amendment is a change made in teh constitution not by actuall written amendment, but by the experience of government under the constitution. \n\nSo in other words it's the prosses by which many changes have been made to the constitution that have not led to changes in the document's written words.

Amendment I\nCongress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances. \n\nwhere does this say separation.\nWe are free to worship the god we want or no god at all.\nThe government can not state that my God is better than your god or no god is the right path. We must live with each other and let each other worship in there own way even if I want to pray to my big toe or no god at all.\n\n We do not have a secular government that would be given in to one side. What we have is a free government. In other words I do not care what you believe I may think your a fool for thinking that way. But I will fight for your right to be live it and stand by your side if any one wants to make you stop or force your views down.

Section 1. -After one year from the ratification of this article the manufacture, sale, or transportation of intoxicating liquors within, the importation thereof into, or the exportation thereof from the United States and all territory subject to the jurisdiction thereof for beverage purposes is hereby prohibited. \n\nSection 2. The Congress and the several States shall have concurrent power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation. \n\nSection 3. This article shall be inoperative unless it shall have been ratified as an amendment to the Constitution by the legislatures of the several States, as provided in the Constitution, within seven years from the date of the submission hereof to the States by the Congress.\n\n\n\nAmendment XVIII (the Eighteenth Amendment) of the United States Constitution, along with the Volstead Act (which defined "intoxicating liquors"), established Prohibition in the United States.\n\n\nHistory\nThe senate passed the amendment on December 18, 1917. The amendment was ratified on January 16, 1919, having been approved by 36 states. It went into effect one year later on January 16, 1920.\n\nWhen Congress submitted this amendment to the states for ratification, it was the first time that a proposed amendment had a provision that placed a deadline on ratification. The validity of the amendment was challenged on that basis in Dillon v. Gloss. The Supreme Court ruled on the case in 1921, upholding the constitutionality of such deadlines.\n\nThe amendment was subsequently repealed by the Twenty-First Amendment on December 5, 1933, making it the only provision in the Constitution to be explicitly modified.\n\nThe ramifications of the 18th Amendment, which will live on to be remembered as "Prohibition", have reached into today. The Amendment eternally changed the notion that localized crime could not evolve into a full-fledged mafia syndicate; while also removing the facade of a utopian society without alcohol (or any other drug, for that matter) in its veins, because it is just one of the many luxuries that make up the plasma in the American bloodstream. Prohibition changed the lives and roles of moonshiners and rum-runners, transforming them, along their product, into the lifeblood of American speakeasies and mob dons, forever revolutionizing the American dream and image.

It had nothing to do with the United States. This particular amendment had to do with cocoa imports in Bangladesh and how they affected the trade embargoes along the Ivory Coast.\n\nRead your textbook.

1st Amendment - The limitations on campaign contributions, the prevention of being able to express personal religious beliefs in school, the assault of the ACLU against Christian expression.\n\n2nd Amendment - the numerous gun laws\n\n5th Amendment. Money (property) is being forcibly taken from me and given to other people in the form of Welfare, Social Security, Corporate Welfare, Agricultural Welfare, Medicaid, Medicare, etc. "...nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation." Where is my just compensation?\n\nThen there are all the intrusions of government into private businesses and lives, regarding quotas and smoking and the myriad other unconstitutional intrusions.\n\nThe ability to grow and smoke marijuana, if I so choose. I don't need a nanny.\n\nThe list is long.

Why is it right now.\nThe right time to change or make amendments to the constitution is when something that affects the whole nation needs to be corrected by the federal government, not the states.\nSo right now would not be any better or worse a time than any other.  Depends on what you want to do to it.

For those of you who need a refresher:\n"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State,\nthe right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed."  \n Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution \n\nOverturned: transitive verb to reverse a previous decision, ruling, or law by using legal or legislative procedures\n\nI don't think the second amendment will every be overturned through any sort of constitutional ammendment ratified by the states.  I do think it will continue to be infringed in the near future by all levels of government wishing to keep people from possessing such deadly items (only the government should have those, remember?).\n\nBest Regards,\nArmus

Dear Friend,\n\nDo you mean "which amendments to the Constitution contained in the Bill of Rights had the most impact on businesses"?  If so, I would say the First Amendment.  Not only does it provide explicit safe haven for our huge media, news, and entertainment industries, the First Amendment protects vital commercial free speech (including advertising, political expenditures, and lobbying).\n\nOr do you mean, "Which amendments to the Constitution subsequent to the Bill of Rights have had the most impact on business"?  If that's the question, I'd say the 14th amendment.  That amendment, intended for the protection of newly-freed African Americans, set forth:\n\n"All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. "\n\nBut "person" was deemed to include corporate as well as natural persons, so corporations finally obtained due process rights.\n\nYour Friend,\nFrancesois

Through the bill of rights; the first amendment protects our right to freedom of speech. This amendment cannot be changed unless repealed by a vote for another amendment to change this right.
