The three amendments that I chose was The Second Amendment‚ The Thirteetth Amendment(1865)‚ and The Nineteenth Amendment(1920).

Arizona‚ one of the driest places in the United States‚ in my opinion‚ is an amazing place to visit. Arizona is not very humid‚ so even though the temperature gets high it does not feel that hot.
