That was a HUGE one - I have been saying that on X for quite a while. There is no reason for them to give 100% loyalty to the state anymore. No consequences to not voting as the state wants either. That amendment is definitely one that imo needs to be put back in. And we could decide if they deserve a raise or not too.
It's a tough call between the 14th, 17th and 19th, but I think the 14th is the worst of them all.
It's been used to rationalize anchor babies. It made everyone citizens of The United States and destroyed the idea of State citizenship. Worst of all, it extended the right to vote to every adult male who isn't a criminal. Not everyone should have the right to vote, regardless of their sex. Once the short-sighted and those with no skin in the game started voting, all the other terrible amendments were almost a given.
The 17 amendment also did a lot to destroy America.
The senators used to be appointed by the states and represented them. Not the people.
Been saying this one for many years - good point!

This would be much easier to change than taking away the female vote.
Yep lol. I'd fight ya over my right to vote
Do you see how the 17th amendment destroyed America?
Or do you not care about that?
^^THIS^^
With no one represing the states and their rights, the fed govt has taken over everything.
This is much bigger than most people realize.

The two party system doesn't help things. Voting 3rd party is throwing away your vote...
