The people elect the state representatives. The state representatives are more responsive to the people. They are local and respond to the people of their districts, unlike the present day Senators who think they are of royal blood and do not give a crap about what the people think. The people need to regain control of the selection of their Senators as it was before February 3, 1913 when the XVII amendment was ratified. So for 134 years Senators were selected by the representatives of the State from which they came - Article I, section 3 of the Constitution of the United States.
