First, be able to define what a "government" is in America. Secondly, Amendments are extensions of what Constitutional powers and procedures are exercised by government (mostly at the Federal level). My hunch based on the (intentionally awkward) question wordage by the instructor, is for you to select ONE of the 27th Amendments. Then, how does the results of that One Amendment differ from certain Constitutional rights or procedures that affected people's lives BEFORE that Amendment was ratified by states and became law. Then, briefly provide (preferably) a modern-day, real-world instance or incident, of that selected Amendment's right or procedure being used by a Federal, State or Local government, and how it enhances today's 21st Century societal goals(s) toward expectations, practice, respect of personal freedom. Because its always importance to take notes, your answer should include use EXACT WORDS or PHRASES the teacher/professor used during any lecture! Any college- style written paragraph should be, at a bare minimum, 3-5 sentences.

The biggest change was in showing that Imperium in Imperio was not only possible but desirable. That is, the power from the people could be parceled out so that sovereignty was now exercised in more than one sphere. The people retained ultimate power but the state had its sphere and the federal had its sphere. This was a great revolution in political thought.
