Commentary On Elections-Part Thirty-Six

Prior to the American Civil War, the federal legislative upper house aka the u.S. Senate could only hire members who were selected by the legislatures of each state. This made the "Several States" the supreme governmental authority figure.

When the 17th Amendment was passed, the U.S. Senate could hire anyone the U.S. citizen voters collectively deemed fit to serve. This further cemented the federal government as the supreme governmental authority figure. The U.S. Senate could then bypass the state elected officeholders and go directly to the electorate base to hire its members for the U.S. Senate. Since the People have no governmental authority as the People bestow that authority to their government officials, the federal government authority became more sovereign when the U.S. Senate started to have the People hire its members directly.

Due to the above-mentioned, this is why there needs to be three senators per state with each senator chosen by state legislators who belong to their same specific region in that state as the senator. The state legislators in a specific third of that state choose the member of the U.S. Senate who belongs to their specific third of that state.

All state delegates and state senators in a specific third of the state, titled senatorial zone, cast votes for an eligible candidate to serve as a federal upper house legislator. The candidate in that senatorial zone who receives the most votes becomes the U.S. Senator-elect. There are three senatorial zones for every state.
