CITIZENSHIP
TAKING ACTION
The Constitution is based on the principle of popular sovereignty. As the text
says, “Exercising the right to vote is probably the most important responsibility of
a citizen,” but U.S. citizens do not get to vote directly on either laws or
Constitutional amendments; these are both done through their elected
representatives at the local, state, and national levels. Despite this, citizen
engagement can and does have an impact on the lawmaking and Constitutional
amendment process. Have students find out about a proposed Constitutional
amendment, or devise their own proposal for a new amendment, and instruct
them to devise a plan for citizens to take action to get that amendment passed
by Congress and the states.
