This joint resolution proposes a constitutional amendment to establish a fundamental right to a high-quality education for all persons within the United States. The proposed Article mandates that the United States, the States, Indian Tribes, and territories jointly ensure this educational standard. This aims to create a shared responsibility among various governmental entities for educational outcomes nationwide. Furthermore, the amendment grants Congress the power to enforce and implement its provisions through appropriate legislation. For this significant change to take effect, it must be ratified by the legislatures of three-fourths of the States within seven years.
