It doesn’t matter what Madison put in the Constitution. The point of an amendment is that it changes what the Constitution says. And the process for amendment laid out in the Constitution does not require unanimous consent. Score one for correct process. And there was no deadline on the 16th. The first amendment to be proposed with a deadline for passage was the 18th. Score two for process.

BS, how did the BOR change what the Constitution reads?

Your premise that the Constitution or the BOR grants or changes the original intent of the said Constitution is bogus.

The Constitution does not give rights, it protects them and restricts the Government from taking them away.....because they are God Given

It doesn't matter what Madison put in the Constitution????

Are you nuts?

I missed your note about what Madison put in the Constitution to protect the sufferage in the Senate does not matter. I guess that says it all about your view of the Constitution. This was the only subject requiring unanimous consent and it does not matter.
