28th Amendment

We have been studying the 27 amendments in government. We are asked to make our own amendment for the constitution. My amendment would be the 28 amendment. The 28 amendment would repeal the 27 amendment.

                I feel as though the 27 amendment isn't fair to the American public and lower class Americans who have to work every day just to barley survive to provide for themselves. My amendment would repeal the 27^th amendment so that the congressman cannot adjust their own pay. I feel that the pay of the congressman should be voted on the American public, based on how well the congressmen have done for the people. I feel as though the congressmen should start out at minimum pay and be forced to ask the American public for the raises in their salary. By limiting their pay to minimum wage I feel as though the congressman will be more willing to pass more efficient laws on the subject of better and cheaper education because they now are in the same boat as the rest of middle class Americans.

                Government isn't fair to the hard working middle class Americans. By creating a amendment that gave the people the power over some of the government. By creating the 28^th amendment it will help congressmen better understand how hard it is to work for something.
