The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although you did not attach the list mentioned in the question, we can say the following

The four Constitutional Amendments that were ratified were the 16th, 17th, 18th, and 19th Amendments to the Constitution of the United States.

Here is what each amendment accomplished and the date each was ratified.

On February 3, 1903, the 16th Amendment gave the federal government of the United States the faculty and power to collect money through the income tax.

On April 8, 1913, the 17th Amendment established that from that moment, citizens would be able to vote for Senators in the elections.

On January 16, 1919, the 18th Amendment established that alcohol was illegal in the United States, and the sale was prohibited.

On August 18, 1920, the 19th Amendment approved women's suffrage, which means that women finally had the right to vote in elections.
