Beginning with the Eighteenth Amendment, all amendments introduced, except the Nineteenth Amendment and the still unresolved Child Labor Amendment of 1924, have a set ratification deadline. There is a mystery in the very first Thirteenth Amendment, the Titles of Nobility Amendment introduced in 1810, which would have eliminated the citizenship of any American acquiring a title of nobility or honor from a foreign or other power. The mystery is whether this amendment was ratified and was illegally removed from the Constitution (Mount, 2010). The questions are what happened to this amendment, where did it go, and whether this amendment was actually ratified.
