Your objection, that the 16th Amendment was not part of the
Bill of Rights, does not address the issue of whether or not
its adoption was as proper as the adoption of the Bill of
Rights.

E.g. your objection was as irrelevant as if you had
objected that the 16th amendment was not part of
the Magna Carta.


The question was, "In what way was the Bill of Rights not properly
ratified?" Your response, a dissertation on the Sixteenth Amendment, did
not answer the question but did suggest you believed the Sixteenth Amendment
was part of the Bill of Rights.



Of course, this was obvious all along.


What is obvious is you don't know what you're talking about.
