Should We Repeal the 17th Amendment?

Would repealing it make a substantial difference in the culture of the US senate?

Probably not.

Although what it would do is get people caring more about their state legislatures and local issues which I see a tremendous value in.

How do you fix the US Legislature?

It’s current paralysis is a result of the country being at a turning point and several possible directions being vigorously discussed. As the demographics change and the younger generation becomes more politically powerful a direction will be chosen and it will change.

I know where I think we should go, will we? We’ll see.

This is a good start, IMO. Giving the State's their seat at the table back is a good thing. Term limits and campaign funding reform would help too.

yes...repeal it.

Why stop there? Repeal everything beyond the the 13th Amendment in the Bill of Rights, including all of the rest of the Constitution.
