Commentary On Elections-Part Thirty-Seven

 In Article 1, Section 3, Clause 2, Sentence 2, the 1789 American Constitution originally read "The Seats of the Senators of the first Class shall be vacated at the Expiration of the second Year, of the second Class at the Expiration of the fourth Year, and of the third Class at the Expiration of the sixth Year, so that one third may be chosen every second Year".

Of course this was changed with the 1913 17th Amendment. However at the time the nation's charter was drafted, the Founding Fathers wanted each state to be a sovereign republic and the nation to be a federation. The preceding paragraph indicates that the state legislatures select members of the U.S. Senate to serve one term.

Imagine the difference between a subordinate federal government whose members of its legislative upper house (u.S. Senate) are selected by the state legislatures to serve one term and a sovereign and supremacist federal government whose members of its legislative upper house( U.S. Senate) are elected by federal citizens ages 18 and above to possibly serve unlimited terms. The difference is stark indeed.

That is why U.S. Senators and the U.S. Senate itself are too powerful and also too imperial to comply with the Representative ideals of governance that the drafters of the American Constitution envisioned. The current structure ,which makes the federal government sovereign, cannot be altered as it has overall benefited the U.S. People and their nation. The most effective way to curtail such power and democratic tyranny (direct and imperial) is to expand the number of senators from each state from two to three.

Furthermore and even more importantly, each senator must be chosen by the state legislators who all belong to the same region that the senator belongs throughout the three separate regions of that state.
