Category:Unratified amendments to the United States Constitution

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Unratified amendments are amendments that have been passed by the Congress but not—or not yet—approved by a majority of states. While most recent amendments (such as the Equal Rights Amendment) include a built-in deadline for ratification, many of the earlier amendments did not and, therefore, could still be ratified.

This category includes only amendments that were proposed for ratification by Congress, including expired amendments and still-pending amendments. There are hundreds of constitutional amendments proposed in Congress every year, many of which never even come to a vote in the United States Senate or House of Representatives.
