There's a book named "The Law That Never Was" by a rancher using the nickname "Red" (his name is on the book but I never remembered it after reading from it.) He and his wife were offended enough by IRS demands for an accounting of charitable contributions that they paid someone to visit all 48 state archives and the National Archives to look up the complete record of both ends of the ratification process for each state. With a little bit of commentary! the content of the book is a copy of that complete record. (DuckDuckGo just gave me this link which I have not opened "https://thelawthatneverwas.com" and I remember the last name "Benson" from that search) Every one of the records was deficient (fraudulent) according to what my 1950s childhood schooling taught me about how such things work. Nonetheless, US Secretary of State, Philander T Knox (some parents have delightful prescience) duly reported that he had received the required ratifications and it was formally added to the Constitution as the 16th Amendment.)
