The Continuing fall of federalism by George F. Will of the Washington Post directs his attention to an audience who is concern with the fall of federalism and perhaps those that are anti-federalist. This article brings forth the changes of the first Amendment and the 17th Amendment. He illustrates how the framers established election of senators by state legislators, and Feingold- McCain to amend the 17th Amendment. However, George Will suggest that the amendment be repeal. In short, 17 th Amendment suggest that the executive authority shall issue writs of election to fill vacancies, and the Amended Amendment suggest no person shall be a senator from a state unless such person has been elected by the people.
Although the Framers gave three political components, separation of powers to have check and balance Mr. Feingold and with McCain support decides to tamper with the structure of the Constitution. Like as of this present time many Amendments are being tamper with to suggest the Framers mind set can only deal with their era and not our generation. However, Will in some quotes agree with change, but his concern is how much change does America need from its original design and purpose. I agree that to much progressiveness will cause the intent of the Framer to be demolition and we can not allow that to happen. I believe these laws are in place and if we can always change them to better suit us we will always apologize as will Feingold; George Will suggest.
