The makers of the Constitution knew that changes would be necessary and that if there was no way of making them, the Constitution would no longer be useful. They, therefore, made it possible for Americans to change the Constitution by adopting amendments to it, (31) . All amendments written into the Constitution have been made in accordance with rules (32) . An amendment may be proposed by two-thirds of both houses of Congress or by a convention called by Congress (33) . It must then be approved by three-fourths of all the states. Then and only then (34) .
Since 1789 (35) . Ten of them were adopted almost immediately (36) . They are the amendments (37) because they protect the rights of individuals.Some amendments have extended the right to vote by forbidding discrimination in respect to the fight to vote on account of race，color or sex，and (38) .One great amendment abolished slavery in the United States.The Fourteenth Amendment，(39) ，has done much in recent years to bring greater justice to black people and others.Other amendments have changed the method of electing senators(40) ，and increased the taxing power of Congress.By amendment we have sought to overcome defects in the Constitution and thus to keep it alive.

Because a friend of mine asked me, I called on good-natured, talkative old Simon Wheeler and asked him about my friend's friend, Leonidas W. Smiley. (63)This story is the result of that visit. I have a deep suspicion that Leonidas W. Smiley doesn't exist; that my friend from the East never knew such a person; and that he made the request of me as a joke. (64) I think he imagined that if I went to Wheeler and asked him about Smiley, then Wheeler would make up a story and bore me to death with some terribly long, exasperating, useless tale. If that was my friend's plan, it succeeded.
I found Simon Wheeler dozing comfortably by the barroom stove of the dilapidated tavern in the decayed mining camp of Angel's, and I noticed that he was fat and baldheaded. (65) He looked gentle, and his face showed him to be a happy, peaceful man. He awakened and greeted me enthusiastically. (66) I told him that a friend of mine had asked me to ask around about an old friend of his from childhood. My friend's old friend was named Leonidas W. Smiley. I further explained that my friend thought that Smiley was a young minister of the Gospel and that he lived in Angel's Camp—or at least he used to. (67) I told Wheeler that I would be very grateful if he could tell me anything about Smiley, since I wanted to honor my friend’s request.
