The Civil War amendments were written to centralize Federal power enough so that slavery could be made illegal. Now that slavery is gone and most of the racial discrimination practices have ended it’s time to repeal those amendments. The centralized power they give to Washington is used by the left way beyond what those amendments were meant to remedy. If a convention of states is ever convened those amendments plus the 16th and 17th should be repealed.
So forbidding slavery should be rescinded? Brilliant. And the right of descendants of freedmen to vote, too?
What do you have against the 17th Amendment. That gives power to the states. Relevant parts below.
