Why dream, when we can have reality? The Congress does not get to decide whether the Constitution is amended. And Congress does not get to ratify any proposed Amendment. The Amendment I am offering here empowers the States. And States ARE the political entities that ratify Amendments to the Constitution. And this Amendment removes the Federal Government’s powerful hand from the pockets of private citizens. - That might be appealing to an educated voting population.

to be blunt, such an amendment would have been possible only when the franchise was restricted to property-owners, and those married to property-owners.

of course if the franchise were thus restricted such an amendment would not have been necessary.
