Since 1787, more than 11,000 amendments have been proposed to the U.S. Constitution. Yet only 27 have passed. This handy encyclopedia tells the whole story of constitutional amendments: the rigorous ratification process; the significance of the 27 amendments that made it into the Constitution; and the notable and sometimes preposterous topics of the thousands that didn't.
John R. Vile is professor and chair of the Political Science Department at Middle Tennessee State University, Murfreesboro, TN. He is the editor of ABC-CLIO's Great American Lawyers and Great American Judges, and author of The Constitutional Convention of 1787.
