Answer to Question 1
An ideal response will:
1, Identify formal amendment, judicial interpretation, and political practices as the three ways to alter the Constitution.
2, Explain that the formal amendment process was designed to be unwieldy. There are four routes to amending the Constitution and one should be selected and described if this is the chosen process. Equal rights amendment, same-sex marriage, and flag-burning amendments have failed. But several amendments expanding democracy have not: ending slavery, expanding the vote, and making selection of senators a direct vote.
3, Explain that the Supreme Court decided it had the right of judicial review. If this is the chosen process, it should be explained how the proposal might make its way to the Court. Mention two cases, Griswoldv.Connectic ut and Roev. Wade, that established a right to privacy not mentioned in the Constitution.
4, Explain that political practices include political parties, primaries, and presidential conventions, none of which are mentioned in the Constitution. The powers of the presidency have expanded, for example, with the use of signing statements. These allow the president to change the meaning of a bill at the same time as signing it.
5, Select a process and explain how it is good fit for implementing the proposal.
