It seems the original bill admitting Ohio as a State in 1803 was defective, and they had to do it again. Nevada recently discovered that the northern 2/3 of the state was still a territory, not a State, because of a similar screw up when Congress admitted Nevada into the Union in 1864. This was corrected through the initiative process in 1982, although there was an organized opposition to the initiative, and about 1/3 of the population (mostly in the northern part of Nevada) voted against it. If the government wants to be a stickler for the rules concerning our laws, I think we have a right to be just as difficult back to them --- especially when it comes to absurd taxes like income tax, and especially when it involves an Amendment to the Constitution.
