What does Amendment XIX mean?

That’s not a real Roman Numeral number even.

X is ten.
I is one.

And in Roman numerals, putting a lower-denominated symbol, before a higher-demoninated symbol, indicates the final value to be represented, is found by subtracting the lower from the higher:

IX == X-I = “nine”

so XIX is
ten and nine

is

nineteen

I believe XIX is 19.

That is a Roman Numeral for 19.
In Roman Numerals smaller numbers to the left of larger numbers subtract from the larger numbers they are to the left of.

Everyone knows XIX is for kids.
