Anyone who has SERIOUSLY studied American history knows the incredible difficulty the founding fathers had when drafting the constitution.

One group desired a straight “democracy” the other a totally equal representation regardless of the size or population of the state.

The grand compromise of course was the House determined strictly by population and the Senate absolute equal representation regardless of population. It was genius and has served us amazingly well for 231 years. The 17th Amendment weakened this grand design but did not destroy it.

This is common knowledge for anyone who has had even the most rudimentary Civics/early American history exposure yet these so called experts appear to have no clue.
