What effect might an amendment granting U.S territories like Puerto Rico and Guam full representation in Congress have on congressional policy-making?
The presence of territorial representatives has no significant change since they lack substantial population compared to states'.
Policies affecting territories may gain prominence due to increased advocacy from newly represented territorial delegates at national legislative discussions.
Such an amendment likely benefits only those territories while having little effect on overall Congressional dynamics or priorities.
Full representation for territories would dilute Congressional attention by increasing diversity without affecting established party agendas or policies significantly.
Which amendment was primarily influenced by the Civil War and its aftermath?
Fourteenth Amendment
First Amendment
Twenty-sixth Amendment
Tenth Amendment
