Samuel Adams best beer is the Winter Brew.
Look toward the 17th Amendment to find the cause.
The Framers created a federated republic, with power divided between the states and the government they created. Progressives de-federalized it via the 17th Amendment, destroyed vertical separation of powers and practically assured consolidation of all powers in Washington, DC.
There really is no hope of return to republican freedoms without repeal of the 17th.
