It makes no sense to me why it was changed. The odd thing is, the very State legislatures that couldn’t properly seat their Senators were the ones who voted for the Amendment. The very problem I hear people argue of why we needed the 17th Amendment still exists. Corruption still exists. Bribery still exists.
Personally I think we are better suited to try term limits first. Along with changing our bribery and corruption laws. And also making the penalties far harder. I think political corruption, considering its influence and damage it can do, is close to treason.
This is my own theory, and only a theory. People are more easily manipulated than other seasoned politicians.
