Assignment 5 JMcCrorey

This article is about the fall and decline of Federalism in the United States of America. The article is directed to the public and the author of the article is George F. Will of the Washington Post. The article is named The Fall of Federalism. It is written to voice the opinion of Sen. Russ Feingold which to point out for him not apologizing for his action in the Senate on an open seat. Also, the plan to change an amendment which would allow senators to be selected by higher officials instead of an electoral vote.

In doing so the senate would not be elected by the people who it is supposed to govern. Without proper check and balances the country would run into turmoil. We need to continue with our checks and balances by making sure we elect the leaders we want in office.
