Answer 1

The flow charts depict various statistics about amendments considered, voted on, and ratified. The accurate history of Constitutional amendments in the United States is best represented by **Chart B**, which accurately reflects the number of amendments considered (over 10,000), amendments that were put to a vote (33), and the number of amendments that were ratified (27).

Charts A, C, and D do not represent the historical data accurately based on the best known records regarding the U.S. Constitutional amendments. Therefore, the correct answer is **B. Chart B**.
