The correct formulation is/should be: “Enacting the 17th Amendment was a big mistake.” Actually, if we could reverse every Amendment enacted in the period of 1910-20, it would be an America much closer to what the Founders established, i.e. no income tax, no central bank, Senate actually representing the respective States’ interests, and no such thing as the lawless/libertine/Roaring 20s as regards alcohol and Mob involvement. Probably can’t do anything about the vote for women, though.
