Nope still takes power away from the states. What if 1/4 of the states don't agree with it?

Once again, the Founders created this mechanism, complain to them. 3/4s of all states agreeing to a change is hardly depriving them of their rights.

Yes they did. To amend the powers and limitations on the federal government not the states. The Constitution, or the limitations therein, was not intended to apply to the states except in very specific instances
