That does make sense. The States are supposed to be in charge, but never were in the 20th century. The nation our forefathers founded ended in the gilded age.
Yes the states were in charge until 1913. Originally Senators were appointed by state legislatures for no more than two terms of six years. (read constitution) The appointed Senator could be recalled at anytime by state legislature. The *non* ratified 17th Amendment transferred the power from the states to the DC Dictators. It was designed that way by the founders because they were concerned about public becoming fat dumb and happy then not paying attention. Now we are a democracy instead of a Republic. Plus Senators 20-30-40-50 years. BTW Socrates hated democracy and was put to death for it. Learn why here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fLJBzhcSWTk
