A related useful book is David Kyvig's edited collection of essays,
"Unintended Consequences of Constitutional Amendments."

Kyvig's "Explicit and Authentic Acts" is a superb historical survey of
constitutional amendments (both successful and unsuccessful).

I too would like to see such an issue or book if it indeed exists.  There is
the Constitutional Tragedies, Constitutional Stupidities book, which is from
the folks at Constitutional Commentary and which is not quite what you are
asking about, although it may be what you are thinking of.
