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.
