Do you think it's a good idea?
I believe the founders made the constitution amendable for a damn good reason and were very wise to so. They didn’t know how everything would work out. They didn’t anticipate parties and thus the tied election of 1800 that led to the 12th amendment.
And I believe that many of them if still alive in the 20th century would have supported the 17th amendment after seeing the disgusting corruption. They were long dead so I can’t prove that and you can’t prove the opposite but they were intelligent men.
I also believe the important differences between the Senate and House were always
1)Equal suffrage per state (BY FAR the most important distinction)
2)The length of the term.
and that method of election was a distant third.
I’ll say again, William Delgado (D), and Cynthia Soto (D) can have my vote over my dead body.
