Under the Articles there would be no reps—no people’s house—because the confederacy had no direct power over the people. It only had power over the states, and that was EXPRESSED power only (as opposed to implied power). One senator each, who could be recalled at anytime for any reason, and replaced. In my opinion. the Articles, though they needed some tweaks, were vastly superior to the Constitution. I view the Constitution as a tragic mistake, and I see no way to undo the damage except to abolish it.
