2nd Amendment of the United States of Elisia

Jump to navigation Jump to search

The Second Amendment (Amendment II) to the United States Constitution was adopted on XX X, XXXX establishing the single-subject rule for federal bills and resolutions in Congress. Originally intending for it to be incorporated into Article One, the rule was dropped from the constitution prior to ratification because at the time, the authors had wanted the legislative-making process to be less bureaucratic in nature, and also wanted to ensure that they, themselves, had freedoms like they did in any other affair. This line of thinking was quickly reversed after the 1st and part-way into the 2nd sessions of Congress, which without the 2nd Amendment, were the most tumultuous in history.

Text

No bill shall be passed by Congress that embraces more than one subject, which shall be clearly expressed in its title.

Every bill shall be limited to a single subject, ensuring that all provisions contained therein are germane to that subject.

This rule shall apply to all legislative measures, including appropriations and revenue bills, to promote transparency and accountability in the legislative process.

Any bill that violates this single-subject rule shall be deemed unconstitutional and may be challenged in a court of law.
