"It was certainly Constitutional and ratified properly, unlike the 16th Amendment."
I'd given the 14th, 16th and 17th Amendment all considerable thought. I'd propose another amendment to settle all.
Section V of the Constitution is amended as follows: Each proposed amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America after December 15, 1791, must be put to the citizens of the individual states for approval of ratification, and each state may only ratify upon a plurality of popular votes. States will have one year to comply upon ratification of this amendment.

It is also interesting that the 7th Amendment is completely ignored...
