Well this is the 23rd Amendment.
The District constituting the seat of Government of the United States shall appoint in such manner as the Congress may direct:
A number of electors of President and Vice President equal to the
whole number of Senators and Representatives in Congress to which the
District would be entitled if it were a State, but in no event more than
the least populous State; they shall be in addition to those appointed
by the States, but they shall be considered, for the purposes of the
election of President and Vice President, to be electors appointed by a
State; and they shall meet in the District and perform such duties as
provided by the twelfth article of amendment.
The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.
Here's an easy to understand version of it:
The 23rd amendment gives residents of Washington DC the right to vote
for representatives in the Electoral College. Remember that the
Electoral College chooses our next president, based on the voting within
their state. Since DC is not a state, its residents were not allowed
to vote for President as well as elected voting representative to
Congress.
The good people of the DCRestricted from voting for their partyHad no say in the governmentJust because of where they lived and where they wentThe 23rd amendment was passedBecause the people pleaded and askedThey could vote for the electoral peopleThey felt better now and thought the government was less evil
