the article "The Continuing Fall of Federalism" by George F. Will, talks about how Senator Feingold wishes to change the Constitution to, "No person shall be a Senator from a State unless such person has been elected by the people thereof. When vacancies happen in the representation of any State in the Senate, the executive authority of such state shall issue writs of election to fill such vacancies". Making it so that the people can elect this officials rather then an elector votes or a higher elected official.
I agree with the idea that the people should be able to pick the elected officials even when for some reason those picked can not serve. This article is written towards the American people to make them aware of this issue. The basic argument made is that we should keep the Constitution the way it is, because that's the way the framers would want it. The problem with this times changes and so do our laws, the basics of the argument is based of assumptions of people no longer with us, I find no effect to these "facts" Will gives us.
