Given that over 10,000 amendments have been proposed by members of Congress, and yet only 27 have been ratified (with the first ten being ratified all at once as the Bill of Rights), what can we say about the framers' views on amending the Constitution

When the framers our state's constitution began to create it, they looked to the u.s. constitution as a model. much like the national government, they created a state government in which each branch could keep the others from having too much power. for example, the state supreme court can- once a law has been passed and enforced- rule that the law violates the state constitution. if this happens, the law is no longer enforced. what principle of government is being described in this passage? a) federalism b) separation of powers c) checks and balances d) republican government
