Okay fair enough. Disproportionate representation is stupid. Any other egregious amendments? I'm not American and I welcome the education.
As far as amendments go, the most egregious that comes to my mind is the 13th:

Slavery is still legal within the united states, but only in the case of prisoners. Slavery should be illegal in all forms no matter what, but we're still stuck in the 1800s. People commonly think the U.S. ended slavery after the civil war, but instead we just turned to neo-slavery, with a million Jim Crow laws on the books to put black people right back out in the fields.
Nowadays instead of Jim Crow, we have the war on drugs which largely does the same thing. The U.S. has the largest per capita prison rate out there for a reason.
