Thanks for posting this.

I must admit that I have a limited understanding of exactly how the 17th amendment tipped the balance of power away from the States and in favor of the Federal Government. I don’t think I’m alone here. All I know is that somehow the 17th did this.

It might be helpful if you or someone posts a very brief outline of “How things worked” before the 17th and “How they work now”.

Thanks again.
