Had the Constitution been applied equally to all citizens after the passage of Amendments XIII-XV, I believe the Tenth would still be in play today.

Perhaps, but we still would be in deep trouble.

The Constitution was a rigged deck from the get go.

The Founding Lawyers were smart and human, all too human.

Almost every "abuse" today is perfectly Constitutional just as the Founders intended.

They had a revolution to make way for another oppressive government?

Enlighten me. I've read Farrand, BTW, and am now working on Thomas Cooley's A Treatise on the Constitutional Limitations Which Rest Upon the Legislative Power of the United States of the American Union. Cooley would dispute your assertion.
