He observed: “In the republic of America, the power surrendered by the people is first divided between two distinct governments [federal and state], and then the portion allotted to each subdivided among distinct and separate departments [legislative, executive, judicial].

The different governments will control each other, at the same time that each will be controlled by itself.”Federalist/Anti-Federalist ping.

The 17th amendment fundamentally altered the structure of the U.S. government in a very adverse way.
