(Photo by Kevin Dietsch\/Getty Images)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><span>\u201cAs originally envisioned by our Framers, the Senate was a key bulwark of federalism: It was meant to give the states a check on the federal government and moderate the passions of the people. Therefore, it\u2019s no coincidence that over the last century, Washington has concentrated more power in itself and buried the country in debt. If we\u2019re serious about reining in federal power and spending, we should be willing to reconsider the change that, together with the 16th Amendment, has helped fuel its growth more than any other,\u201d Burlison, a co-signer of Self\u2019s resolution, said in a statement to the DCNF.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201c<\/span>The 17th Amendment is arguably the most injurious amendment in history. Big money has twisted our Senate races into circus acts. The Founders knew what they were doing, and We he People should restore the original Constitutional process for election of US Senators,\u201d Higgins, another co-signer of Self\u2019s resolution, said in a statement to the DCNF.<\/p>\n<p>Until the 17th Amendment is repealed, \u201cstates can begin moving primaries to their state legislatures, party conventions, or a combination of both,\u201d a spokesperson for Spartz, another co-signer, told the DCNF.<\/p>\n<p><span>The U.S. adopted the 17th Amendment in the 1910s after states had been facing issues with deadlocks in the election of senators when state Senates and Houses were controlled by different parties \u2013 leaving vacancies in the U.S. Senate. Alongside these deadlocks, some states faced \u201cpolitical machines\u201d who had control over state legislatures. This caused senators elected with machine support to be considered their \u201cpuppets,\u201d <\/span><span>according<\/span><span> to the National Archives. Some people at the time also viewed the Senate as a \u201cmillionaire\u2019s club\u201d which served \u201cpowerful private interests.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Due to a stalemate in the state legislature electing a senators from Delaware in the 1890s, the state went without one seat of Senate representation for almost two years.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/hometransferguide.com\/?p=2949\">REPORT: Cops Find Plastic Surgeon\u2019s Body In Pool After Botched Procedure Allegedly Killed Patient<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span>The senatorial election process as outlined in the Constitution became such a difficult process that even some state legislatures submitted <\/span><span>petitions<\/span><span> to Congress to amend the Constitution to reform the election process, according to the U.S. Senate <\/span><span>website<\/span><span>.

(Photo by LUKE FRAZZA\/AFP via Getty Images)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><span>By 1912, one year before the Constitution was ratified to include the 17th Amendment, 29 states were already abiding by their own version of senatorial direct election, according to the U.S. Senate website. The \u201cOregon Plan\u201d required state legislature candidates to pledge to support the Senate candidate which won the state\u2019s popular vote.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>A resolution to amend the Constitution to have direct election of senators first came from the House of Representatives in <\/span><span>1826<\/span><span>, just 38 years after the Constitution went into effect. This proposal did not have enough support, and therefore did not pass.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Congress only passed the resolution for the 17th Amendment after at least 287 proposals for the direct election of Senators had been introduced in congress, the U.S. Senate <\/span><span>website<\/span><span> notes. Support for the amendment grew in the Senate as more senators became elected by direct election in the states.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The resolution to amend the Constitution <\/span><span>passed<\/span><span> the Senate in a close vote in 1911, according to the National Archives <\/span><span>website<\/span><span>. The House passed the amendment over a year later, and in 1913, three-fourths of the states ratified the 17th Amendment, making it official.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Self\u2019s resolution to repeal the 17th Amendment revolves around returning to the Founding Fathers\u2019 \u201coriginal vision for the United States Senate,\u201d according to the press release. The 17th Amendment upsets the proper balance of the U.S. Congress, the press release notes, with the House of Representatives meant to represent the people and the Senate meant to represent the states.<\/span><\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Photo by TIMOTHY A.

(Photo by TIMOTHY A. CLARY\/AFP via Getty Images)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><span>Federalist Paper 62<\/span><span>, penned by James Madison or Alexander Hamilton in 1788, argued that the U.S. Senate members being elected by the state legislatures offered a way of \u201cgiving to the State governments such an agency in the formation of the federal government.\u201d The author noted its importance in securing the authority of the State government and forming \u201ca convenient link\u201d between the State government and federal government systems.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The authors of the Federalist Papers also believed that the state legislatures electing the senate would have the \u201c<\/span><span>advantage of favoring a select appointment\u201d of senators. By confining votes for senators to the state legislatures, the voters \u201cwill in general be composed of the most enlightened and respectable citizens,\u201d so they will vote for \u201cthose men only who have become the most distinguished by their abilities and virtue, and in whom the people perceive just grounds for confidence,\u201d according to <\/span><span>Federalist Paper 64<\/span>,<span> written by John Jay.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The House of Representatives had attempted to pass similar amendments to the 17th Amendment prior to 1911, but faced resistance from the Senate, according to the Senate\u2019s website. In light of this and continued issues with state legislature elected senators, in April 1911, Victor Berger, the first Socialist U.S. Representative, proposed a resolution that would give the House of Representatives all legislative powers, making all of its enactments \u201cthe supreme law.\u201d The House did not pass this resolution.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The only amendment of the Constitution which has been successfully repealed is the 18th Amendment which called for prohibition of alcoholic beverages. It was repealed by the 21st Amendment just 13 years later.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>All content created by the Daily Caller News Foundation, an independent and nonpartisan newswire service, is available without charge to any legitimate news publisher that can provide a large audience.
