There have been approximately 11000 proposed amendments to the US constitution but only 27 have been passed with the first 10 being collectively known as the Bill of Rights. The success rate of amendments since the constitution was first set up has been less than 1%. One reason why most proposed amendments fail to pass is due to the Founding Fathers when the Constitution was first drawn up. The founders wanted the bar set high because they believed that most issues should be left to the ordinary political process. A constitutional amendment takes an issue away from the normal process of democracy.
How did the Constitution Guard against Tyranny? Nolen Michael Ms. McKee U.S. History Nov.27, 2012 Abstract In the summer of 1787, fifty-five delegates representing twelve of the thirteen states met in Philadelphia to fix the national government. The problem was that the existing government, under the Articles of Confederation, just wasn’t doing the job. It was too weak.

Unlike Greece, where shifting may not have been easy but was at least constant, the Romans never planned an operational method to decide how new emperors would be designated. The choice was always open to debate between the old emperor, the Senate, the Praetorian Guard (the emperor's private army), and the military army. Gradually, the Praetorian Guard got total right to pick the new emperor, who compensated the guard who then became more prominent, propagating the vicious cycle. Finally in 186 A. D. when the army strangulated the new emperor, they began selling the throne to the highest bidder. Throughout the next 100 years, Rome had 37 different emperors - 25 of whom were removed from office by assassination.
Personal Rule * Charles ruled for 11 years without Parliament. From 1629 to 1640. * This was considered legal, but unusual. It was normal for a few years to pass between Parliaments, as in Henry VII’s reign, he ran without Parliament for 7 years. * Parliament was not part of the routine machinery of government, and ruling without one made him a tyrant.
In George Washington’s farewell address to the young nation, he warned the citizens of the emerging two-party system. He feared that the country might be destroyed by, as he called them, “baneful effects of the spirit of party.” He viewed parties as a threat to both national unity and the concept of popular government (Grushoff). Nearly 200 years after Washington’s famous farewell address, his words have never held so true. The two-party system has endured within our country at the distaste of many Americans. Our country is as divided as ever and there is a substantial lack of unity among the political parties and the citizens of the United States.
