18th Amendment

the 18th amendment has been repealed but banned the use and ability to sell alcohol in the United States.

this pictures makes fun of the reason why prohibition took place. Banning alcohol allowed organized crimes to become prevalent and become rich. Another reason for banning the alcohol had to with the era. It was during world war one and the thought of buying alcohol that was or could be German was seen as treason. 

17th Amendment

The 17th Amendment provides for the election of two U.S. senators from each state by popular vote and for a term of six years. IN this video he argues his reasoning on why the 17th amendment should be repealed. Giving more power to the people is the main issue he focuses on by giving voting power to states instead of federal government indirectly gives more power to the people because states governments are mean to be checking the federal power and by having the states retain power is beneficial to citizens because people within state government s would be more politically aware.

16th Amendment

The 16th amendment allows the federal  government collect income tax from all Americans.


This pictures depicts the helplessness of citizens when it comes to the burden of income tax and how some people may feel they are taken advantage of. Many people argue that income tax is unconstitutional and some even think its illegal because it was not properly ratified.

14th Amendment/15th Amendment

the 14th amendment defied national citizenship and forbid states to restrict basic rights of citizens or other persons.
the 15th amendment prohibits government from denying a citizen the right to vote based on race or color.


This comic is depicts the actual law and amendments that are passed and how they have translated into society. The point that is trying to be conveyed with this comic is that even with laws prohibiting inequality and discrimination there are ways around it and it can still happen. Minorities and others who deal with discrimination and their rights will eventually begin to catch on to the ways things actually wired compared to what a law or amendment says.

13th Amendment

the 13th amendment was created to abolish slavery.

I think this picture is interesting because although the was a law passed to end slavery in a way it never ended. This picture depicts the struggle minorities have to endure even with the abolition of slavery in America.  

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.
