The article “The continuing fall of federalism” by George Will of the Washington Post is directed toward the american public and addresses the topic of federalism in the United States political system.This article was basically written to voice the opinion of George will and protest Sen. Feingolds plan to change an amendment which would allow senators to be selected by higher officials instead of an electoral vote.
I agree with Gerge will's argument because senators should be elected by the people and not other members of the political system. If this amendment change were to happen then the people wouldn't have a say in who gets chosen into office and the senate will be able to chose whoever they want to fill in the vacant seat. This goes against many political standards because this country is supposed to be run by the people; Senators and political seats of power are only supposed to be representitives of the United States. If the goverment were allowed to chose who they want to be in political offices then this would no longer be a country run by the people, Instead it would be run by the government and us americans wouldn't be allowed to have a say in the political process. In the end federlism is a good thing in order to keep this country from going into turmoil.
