[QUOTE="Poke78, post: 2820962, member: 4333"] Nope, that got hosed when the progressives of the early 20th Century insisted on popular election of the Senate rather than the more republican form the Framers used in the Constitution with the state legislatures selecting the Senators. We know this today as the 17th Amendment to the Constitution. The balance between the states and the federal governments was upset in that move as was the balance between House and Senate. What remains is merely a shadow of what the Framers envisioned and it has taken a century to slowly take down the US. [/QUOTE]
