Which amendment to the US Constitution would you do away with?

[Josquius]

A case could be made for getting rid of several of them but with the second there really is no competition.

[Grey Fox]

10

The Reserve Clause?  Why?

Anyway the third amendment.  Citizens need to do their duty to the glorious military forces of the United States.

Because you have too many crazy states that need to be put down.

You think the 2nd is worse than the 18th?

Its already gone. Getting rid of it would serve no purpose but tidy up paperwork by getting rid of an ammendment which another ammendment says is no longer valid anyway.

[Razgovory]

17th.  Without a doubt.

Agreed. Save the states from disenfranchisement.

The states are more trouble then they are worth.  We've let states tyrannize their populace for well over a century.

[Neil]

The 2nd is bad.  I'm also not wild about 6-8 and 19.

[szmik]

16th, 17th, 19th, 22nd, 23rd, 24th 

not that anyone cares

[The Brain]

Purple Tentacle had the right idea about amendments. Humans now slaves.

[ulmont]

Which amendments to remove:

7.  The right to a trial by jury for almost all civil cases only complicates the administration of the courts.

22.  If you can keep getting elected, you can keep being President.

[Barrister]

I keep telling you people - entrenching human rights in your constitution is a terrible idea.  You need to rely on elected politicians, not unelected judges.

One through ten need to go.

[Ed Anger]

I'd like to see the press neutered. I don't like reporters.

The whole point of the Bill of Rights is that we don't trust elected officials to safeguard minority rights in all cases.

Is that really the whole point?  After all, it's not like the Bill of Rights was very good at safeguarding minority rights.  Blacks, Indians and Mormons all got the gears pretty good.

Nah, the judges are a failsafe. We'd still prefer the politicians don't trample over our rights, but don't trust them not to.

I know.  And I disagree.

It's not as if the Bill of Rights actually works at protecting minority rights either.  Japanese internment, McCarthyism, slavery...
