if i had the opportunity to chage the constitution to improve it i would add a amendment called 'free trip'' which would mean you dont need a passport or you dont need to be a citizen to go anywhere.many kids and mothers and father die while trying to cross the border.this is a world of humans we all have the some thing we shouldnt have to be a citizen to want a better life for our children.

If I had the power to add something new to the constitution I would make a law that would treat everyone equal , For example equal pay . Even have the same rights even though they are not citizens .

i agree with you with this topic abarca like guys get pay way more then girls because of your gender girls do twice as much work then guys do

I have to disagree. If someone works harder and puts more effort in, they they deserve to be paid more. Example, while I think women should be paid the same as men, they should do the same amount of work a guy can do. When you are a firefighter, men have to be able to carry out a 185 lbs dummy on their shoulders. While women only have to be able to carry a 100 lbs dummy. If she cannot do the same amount of work as her male colleague then she should not get paid the same. If she can do more work, then she should get paid more than her male colleague.

I would have guns outlawed because they kill too many people. Guns are the number one killer in the usa. 11419 people were killed last year due to gun violence in the usa. This matters because no one should be dieing due to guns. I would outlaw guns in the usa in order to improve the constitution.

Without guns in the hands of the people; our country would become a military state.

Honestly guns don't kill people. A gun is an inanimate object, it doesn't have the ability to kill. People kill people and they just use guns, just like people use knives. You just don't hear about people calling for a knife ban.

I totally agree with Elena's comment, many people, including students our age have died when crossing the border.

I would propose that school should be an option. I feel that we should be able to decide if we want to go to school or not. I think even if we had an option to go to school or not, people should go till at least they finish the 8th grade. So they would have known basic math and grammar.

If i had the opportunity to change the constitution it would be the food supply because there wouldnt be much famine if everyone worked together to ration and distribute among each other. Food is very important necessity

If i had the chance to change one thing in the constitution it would be emigration. I believe that there should be more equality because were all people and should all have the chance to be succesful people no matter our nationalities. This would be something that inspires lots of people to reach for higher goals and that way our country would have more knoledged persons.

If I had the choice to change the constitution i would change the right to bear arms because even though you feel protected in your own home some people still violate it. You can kill somebody in your own home and if it wasn't recorded and no witness were there you can get away with it without getting in trouble. You can own a gun inside your house and people can't say anything to you, therefore it might make others uncomfortable. This matters to me because depending on who owns the gun he might be using it for wrong intentions. Overall, This would be something I would change because i feel that people violate this right for their own personal matters.

If i had the chance to change the constitution i would try to make a law that allowed immigrants to pass the border for a certain amount of time to visit there family members. That way they will be able to visit them without having to worry about being deported or being sent to jail. If this were to be able to happen the many families would actually be able to meet family members that they never met before.

one way to improve the constitution is to let immigrants stay in the united states . like the preamable , it starts with "we the people" . immigrants are people too . yes well have some people who disagree with this improvement but people are people . not everything is done the way we want it to be. we are all humans who will die in the end . immigrants should be allowed to be in the united states .

You forgot to add "We the people of the United States of America" The constitution only refers to legal citizens of the United States. You tried.

If I can change the constitution, I would want the schools to not have a uniform policy and we would be a able to wear anything we want as long ass we go to school and work hard. Because mostly every school has a uniform policy.

I would like to inform you that not all schools have a uniform policy. Mine doesn't have one. I am not sure what statistics back up your statement that "mostly every school has a uniform policy."

If I had the opportunity to improve The Constitution I would make an Amendment that would state the rights people have of their own person. For example, the whole abortion debate, I believe it is the right of whomever is going to take care of the child to plan what they will do during the pregnancy. Also, I know employers will judge people based on their appearance and I don't think that is fair. Lots of people get judged based on their personal choices and style and it is wrong. Appearance is not a just factor of someone's level of intelligence. With this amendment who knows we might find the next Einstein in some punk rock scene kid with tribal style piercings.

If i were able to change the constitution, i would make an addition that gives immagrants their paper/greencard. I would add this to the constitution because many immagrants are unhappy to not be able to do certain things. The world woukd be a better and happier place.

I am American and I have to disagree with you. Have you ever wanted to travel? Other counties probably hate us in their country because of people like you. So I wouldn't change the constitution, but I hope you can change your attitude toward immigrants in the United States of America.

A new law needs to be put in place that would not allow the shut down of government for non essential programs that have nothing to do with Financing the Government. Immigration is a separate issue and our government is being held hostage because of it. This is a outrage to the American Citizens. Change the law this has been going on to long.
