Twenty-Seventh Amendment

"No law, varying the compensation for the services of the Senators and Representatives, shall take effect, until an election of Representatives shall have intervened."


The 27th amendment is the amendment that has taken longer to approve in the Constitution. Its proposal started in 1789 and wasn't approved until 1992. This amendment talks about the salaries of the members of Congress. It basically doesn't allow any increment or decrease in the representatives' salaries until the next election.

I chose this two comic illustrations that talk about the 27th amendment. We can see how in both they talk about everyone making economic sacrifices and the economy of the United States being a mess and Congressman asking for a mess.
