Vote November 4th- It's a Constitutional Amendment

The US Constitution is the oldest Constitution and still in active use in the world today and is
the basic document of our Republic, which protects the individual liberties of all citizens
through written law.

Did you know that you cannot be denied the right to vote because of race or
gender? But remember, the Constitution never clearly ensures us the “right to vote”.

The 26th Amendment requires that 18 year-olds must be able to vote, however states can allow persons younger than 18 to vote if they chose. The qualifications for voters are left to the states as long as they do not conflict with in the Constitution. In some states, felons that are in prison or on probation are denied the right to vote.

Electoral College and Political Party Votes

The Constitution neither prohibits nor encourages that the President and the Vice President be
from the same party. They are voted on separately in the Electoral College; so theoretically, the
President and Vice President could be from different parties.

Constitution Moment on the 5th Amendment

This message brought to you by the James Waldrop Chapter Daughters of the American Revolution, Fayetteville, Georgia.

Our Constitution, the cornerstone of our Freedoms, was written to protect every American from
the abuse of power by government. The Fifth Amendment states that, "No person shall be ...
deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law” and it protects us from double
jeopardy and incrimination. However, the phrases “innocent until proven guilty" and
“presumption of innocence” are not found in the 5th amendment nor in any part of the
Constitution. These phrases derived from English law and are part of our system and
considered common law today.
