You have to get rid of one of the amendments to the Constitution - which one?

[Indy Texas]

The amendments are listed below, with the year they were submitted for ratification.

The 18th and 21st amendments (enacting, and repealing Prohibition, respectively) are not included as they essentially cancel each other out - and letting people choose to get rid of the 18th would be something of a cop-out.
