i think that all the Amendments are very important i never knew there was 27 of them. the president should make more laws for others to follow even though people now dont follow any rules or laws we make but the president needs to make more n powerful laws

The president doesn't make laws. Congress does. Why is this on a template talk page? --Gustavo Chapman 3rd of Normandy 20:08, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

• Looks like some random person felt like using the talk page for a personal (and strange) thought, nothing more. --CapitalR 23:05, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

I add to the random and strange thought then. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.122.237.6 (talk) 21:50, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

Overlap, lack of Info

This "infobox" has a lot of overlap with Template:US Constitution. While there is some utility to having all the sections of the constitution accessable on the side: homiegee

1. Do we need the overlap?
2. Specific information, especially on the amendments would be very useful.

For instance, I had to look through the page to find the ratification date of the 20th Amendment. I think that, along with the date it was proposed by Congress, should be in the infobox for all amendments. And of course, the original Constitution also has such dates. —Tox 21:36, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

• I'll agree with adding the dates of proposal and ratification. Those were actually in the original template when I created it, but i removed them because I didn't have enough time to go fill in all the information in each amendment. You can re-add the fields if you like, as I think they make the infobox more useful. --CapitalR 01:50, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
  • I agree that this infobox is 100% overlap of the Template:US Constitution. A few thoughts: Template:US Constitution was created several years ago and has served quite nicely, this infobox is only a few months old; Template:US Constitution is much more informative, this infobox is limited; Template:US Constitution is more of a "macro" navbox and is well suited for the bottom of the page, this infobox is more of a "micro" navbox. With that being said, this topic truly demands quality navigation and this infobox does look quite sharp. Therefore, I would propose removing the "micro" aspects of the Constitution from Template:US Constitution (basically remove everything above the horizontal line) and keep this infobox minus the wikisource links which should be moved to Template:US Constitution. This infobox would then serve as the navigation for the elements of the Const. while Template:US Constitution will serve as the navigation for the entire series on the Const.

    • Yeah, I could agree with that proposal above. I created the sidebar infobox a few months ago after finding it very difficult to quickly navigate the Constitution articles, and after getting complaints from others that it was too difficult to find the complete text. As long as we keep it easy to do that, I'm all for any changes that others want to make. --CapitalR 16:41, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

I went ahead and was bold and made the above changes, we'll see how it does.--Old Hoss 03:55, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

FYI, this isn't an infobox, but a Navigational template. Regards, Severo^TC 00:37, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
