Awesome. Senators would represent state governments...as was intended.


Remember, the reason it was changed was that corruption was so bad in state governments.

The problem is the nature of man, not the form of government....................

The current system with lobbyist, PACs, etc. is just as, if not more corrupt.

Additionally, you don’t just throw out a piece of the Constitution because it is being abused. You prosecute those who are abusing it.

An analogous argument would be...we should replace the 2nd Amendment because of mass shootings. See how illogical that is?
