I agree that the Constitution needs a few changes. Here are my suggestions.

Article I, Section 7: (addition):
Every bill which shall have passed the House of Representatives and the Senate, shall provide specific reference to the line in the Constitution giving the United States the authority specified in the bill.

Article I, Section 8:
To regulate commerce with foreign nations, and among the several states, and with the Indian tribes;

Amendment II
A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, tThe right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.

Amendment X
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people. Section 1: THE POWERS NOT DELEGATED TO THE UNITED STATES BY THE CONSTITUTION, NOR PROHIBITED BY IT TO THE STATES, ARE RESERVED TO THE STATES RESPECTIVELY, OR TO THE PEOPLE!!!

Section 2: The Supreme Court, Congress and the President are directed to read this amendment every day at the start of work.

Amendment XVI
The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several states, and without regard to any census or enumeration. The sixteenth article of amendment to the Constitution of the United States is hereby repealed.

You forgot to include the repeal of the 17th A.: Popular election of Senators. If anything destroyed the sovereignty of the States, it was the removal of their voice in the Federal government.
