Repeal the 16th and 17th amendments

From 1787 until 1913 the federal government wrote about 100 pages of laws a year. They were mostly maritime and excise. What happened in 1913?
Until 1913, the states were sovereign over the federal government. Our US senators were chosen by the state's houses to represent the state. The 10th amendment to the constitution furthered this wish of the founding fathers that states had control, not the federal government.
In 1913 that was removed by an unconstitutional amendment, the 17th. The states lost their suffrage to the people and corruption began. The Federal reserve was created, lobbyists were born, pork barrel spending and career politicians took over Washington and have had it ever since.
That same year, the 16th amendment was forced on We The People by the same progressives that allowed the now corrupt government to legislate activity through tax code and controlled banking. Both of these amendments were not ratified legally and should be removed. They are the cause of almost every problem this country has.
If we went back to the days of 100 pages of federal laws a year, productivity would go back up as lawyers produce nothing except dead trees.
