These two Amendments are not and have never been a part of the Bill of Rights. The task applies only to the first 10 Amendments to the Constitution, not to the Constitution itself or to the Amendments adopted subsequent to the Bill of Rights.
Doh! You it said bill of rights. I read it as which amendment.
The assignment isn’t that clear, because the students are supposed to both take away two amendments and add two amendments to the Bill of Rights.
You’re right, of course, that the Bill of Rights is the first 10 amendments, but it hardly makes sense to add two amendments to the Bill of Rights. Does that mean propose two new amendments to the constitution, or literally select two existing amendments to be considered part of the “Bill of Rights?” Dumb.
In any event, it’s not a terrible exericse. Among the first 10 amendments, 3 and 7 strike me as the two that could go with the least amount of damage, and it would be an interesting discussion to propose two additional constitutional amendments.
