Article 1, Section 3 (http://www.myconstitution.info/website/article1.html#section3) 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 (http://www.myconstitution.info/website/amendment17.html) 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?
