In particular, I'm looking for actual serious insight from the more legally knowledgeable members of the community.
Amendments to the Constitution immediately annul/limit/qualify other parts of the constitution, of course, but has there ever been an instance where it took decades after the passage of an amendment for the Judicial system to determine that the text of that amendment overrode some portion of the original constitution?
Like, as a specific example, court the Supreme Court use the "One Man One Vote" principle, based on the 14th Amendment, to declare the current apportionment method of the Senate to be unconstitutional?
Has anything on that scale ever happened before?
