     I am personally opposed to making it easier to pass constitutional amendments. Prohibition already made it through under the current rules. Making it easier to amend the Constitution could easily lead to the passage of similar garbage amendments. I tend to prefer a streamlined document.

     Also, I consider the 13th, 15th, & 19th amendments to be changes of great importance, since they were instrumental to securing individual rights for everyone.
