Constitution Amendments

Besides two articles in the original Bill of Rights, only two other proposed amendments to the U. S. Constitution failed because they were not ratified by the necessary number of states. The first, proposed in 1810, was to bar titles of nobility, while the second, proposed in 1861, was to prohibit interference with slavery. The pending Child Labor amendment has been ratified by only 28 of the required 36 states since it was proposed 20 years ago.
