[QUOTE="mugsy, post: 2072313, member: 18914"] With all due respect, the movement in the 1820's was insignificant - in fact it was more or less on par with what we are doing now namely, discussion without significant political traction. Only nearly a century later and after a civil war that fueled public perception of "States Rights" being a code-word for rebellion did it gain steam again. It is interesting that now we have the widespread perception, and to some extent accurate perception, that Senatorial seats are the playgrounds of millionaires only. I think one could make a good case that State legislatures would be better positioned to select people who don't have to have the massive personal resources of the current crop of Senators. [/QUOTE]
