Hi,

Change the type of the variable to unsigned short, change all the cases in the switch to reflect that.

Hope all goes well.

            cin >> amendment_number;

            // if( b < '1' or b > '8')
            if( amendment_number < 1 or amendment_number > 27 ) // ****
            {
                error("That is not a valid input. Please enter a number betweet 1 and 27.");
            }

            switch(amendment_number)
            {
                // case'1':
                case 1 : // ****
                    cout << "Amendment 1: Freedom of speech, the press, to form militias, of religion, and of the right to assemble." << endl;
