12th amendment

the 12th amendment was ratified in 1804, providing for election of the president and vice president by the electoral college: should there be no majority vote for one person, the House of Representatives (one vote per state) chooses the president and the Senate the vice president.

This cartoon is making fun of our election process. It compares it to a game which can be interpreted as unfair.

11th Amendment

The eleventh amendment stops an individual from suing state governments in federal courts. This comic is humorous in that it points out the problem with the 11th amendment. Being able to have a fair trial but limiting ability to sue states even if they did something wrong seems corrupt.
