Article I section I of the constitution should be amended to the following: "All citizens should be treated as equals by the Citizens, the Laws or the Government of the Allied States regardless of race, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, sex, age or mental or physical disability, except to improve the current state of those disadvantaged." |

Also I have a few questions: - Would building codes have to be changed to require unisex bathrooms? - Would the draft be mandated to apply to women as well? (After all, when it comes to the draft, men are disadvantaged) - Would the differential tax structure regarding marriage be unconstitutional? - Would it be okay to discriminate based on national security? (Ie: use profiling in airports so that 20 year old male Arabs are stopped more often then elderly white women?) - Would it be okay to discriminate when the nature of a government job requires it? (Ie: CIA operative who goes undercover with ISIS will probably want to be male, military chaplains probably can't be atheists) Edited by CDLand, Jun 26 2015, 01:09 AM.

In the US, the tax rate for married couples is not necessarily double the rate for individuals. Also, the US has tax breaks for marriage |

Okay so in other words, the amendment would - In times of a big war, force the military to be half male, half female - Force the government to spend as much time patting down elderly females as they do young Arabs - Mandate atheist chaplains - Prohibit the tax structure to take marriage into account (it's easier to pay your taxes when you have two incomes instead of one) I oppose the amendment. There's a difference between equal protection of the law, where everyone is entitled to the same legal protections, and forcing the government to treat every person meticulously the same, ignoring biological differences and differences in circumstance.

When the draft is invoked during a major war, all women as well as men would be eligible to be drafted. |
