“How the Senate Is Supposed to Work”
State governments sends 2 people to vote those state legislator’s interest. They are recalled and replaced at the leisure of those state governments as their interest or composition changes
I know! Weird UFO stuff right there!
That is how it used to work until Wilson got his 17th Amendment. States had representation in the Federal legislature as States whereas now the Senators are just another way to divide up the popular vote in the states. We might as well have a Unicameral Congress with the same number of reps from each state that are now called Senators and Representatives.
