The Senate & The 17th Amendment (w/ Professor William Morrisey)

from Constitutional Chats Presented By Constituting America

The 17th Amendment made U.S. Senators directly elected by their constituents rather than selected by state legislatures - how does this change affect the way our federal government works? Actress Janine Turner, Cathy Gillespie, and Constituting America Student Ambassadors Tova Love Kaplan and Dakare Chatman interview Hillsdale College's Professor William Morrisey on how the direct election of senators altered the balance of power in Congress.
