The pro-Washington (nationalist) First Constitutional Congress (elected in accordance with Article I, Section 3 [Clause 1]) proposes 12 Articles of Amendment to the Constitution for the united States.
Postscripts:
- Ten of these Articles of Amendment came to be ratified two years later, and have come to be commonly referred to as the “Bill of Rights.”
- An eleventh Article of Amendment, delaying pay increases until after the next election, was ratified in 1992.
- The remaining Article of Amendment yet to be ratified would expand the membership of the house of representatives from 435 members to over five-thousand (fixing the ratio between constituents and representatives at 50,000:1). When ratified this will make it much more difficult for special interests to acquire unwarranted influence in the house.
