Article 1, Section 3 of our Constitution stated:
"The Senate of the United States shall be composed of two Senators from each State,
chosen by the Legislature thereof for six Years; and each Senator shall have one Vote."
The Seventeenth Amendment changed that to read:
"The Senate of the United States shall be composed of two Senators from each State,
elected by the people thereof, for six years; and each Senator shall have one vote...."
Do you think it was a good change?
Should the
People directly their Senators, rather than the
Legislatures of their states?
