[QUOTE="vvvvvvv, post: 2072292, member: 5151"] The movement for popular election of Senators started in the 1820s, so it really wasn't limited to the Progressives of the late 19th and early 20th century that brought the 17th Amendment. Throughout the 19th century, the campaign for popular election centered on the public's perception that Senate seats were bought and sold - a perception that can only be verified as being false based on extremely few allegations meriting an investigation and far fewer findings of corruption. Later, the campaign centered on the legislative deadlocks of the 1890's and early 1900's that resulted in no Senator(s) for a state being appointed. [/QUOTE]
