"If you read the Constitution the way I do the vast majority of the 17 amendments we've had since the Bill of Rights are democracy-enlarging suffrage-extending freedom-expanding rights The 13th Amendment abolished slavery The 14th Amendment gave us equal protection in due process The 15th Amendment banned race discrimination in voting The 19th Amendment doubled the franchise by giving women the right to vote The 24th Amendment banned poll taxes as a barrier to participation in voting And the 26th Amendment lowered the voting age to 18 Our entire history is the trajectory of democratic expansion and development." - Congressman Jamie Raskin
