And the 17th Amendment, also enacted during the Wilson years (which changed the way U.S. Senators assumed power from being appointed by state legislatures to a popular election), was the last nail in the coffin for state's rights.
I blame the 17th amendment for Clinton's impeachment acquital.

And the lack of a 17th for Johnson's acquittal.
