Miguel is a hardworking boy around the age of seventeen. He is originally from Mexico and has been living in the United States for four years. He is able to understand English, however always writes in Spanish. He has seen an American flag, but couldn’t tell you much about it. He also can sing the national anthem, but doesn't understand the lyrics. Can Miguel become an American citizen if he applies for citizenship tomorrow? Devise a plan to help Miguel earn his citizenship in the United States.
No, but he can if he has been living longer in the US, learn the language, the flag, and maybe interpret the anthem better. If he works on these goals, then he might be able to become a US citizen eventually.
I have another question for you: Over ten thousand amendments have been proposed to Congress by people living in the United States throughout the past two hundred years. If you could add an amendment to the Constitution which topic would you chose to address? Write an amendment to the Constitution that you think is important and that would benefit the majority of people in the United States. Explain why your amendment deserves ratification.
