income tax have to do with the electoral college
I brought this up because it was ratified the same year as the 17th amendment which basically turned the Senate into another Congress.
I prefer the Constitution as it was before these two amendments. These two, IMO, have made it easier to take more and more power from the states and the people and put it in the hands of the federal government.

And how do either of them have ANYthing to do with the electoral college? Ranting and raving about what you don't like in the current constitution is rather nonuseful. Unfortunately for you most people do not share your opinion of the 16th or 17th amendments
