That's not QUITE 100% accurate.
12th amendment made the presidential election a 2-fer by taking away the right of electors to essentially vote for the VP......who was originally the 2nd vote getter in this process.
Also? direct election of Senators curbed the right of the various state legislatures to elect Senators from the various states. I can see why this happened.
And by my understanding of the Constitutional Convention, the Constitution was NOT have been ratified by the necessary number of states WITHOUT the 10 amendments COLLECTIVELY known as the Bill Of Rights.
And the OTHER amendement which took away a right.....was later dumped, and that would be the 18th amendment later deleted by the 21st, about 13 or so years later.....give or take.
I think the most important take-away is the idea of unintended consequences. No telling what the downstream effects of laws can or will be.
Too much is never enough
