Assignment #5 T. Whiteaker

This article was written by George F. Will of the Washington Post. This article titled,"Will: The continuing fall of federealism" was posted on thestate.com on February 22. Mr Will is writing this opinion article to all Americans voicing his disgust with a lot of US Senators. Specifically, I think hes writing towards a more liberal audience like himself with his constant bashing of conservative republicans.

However, I do agree with his statement that says the Constitution should not be touched. In order for the Constitution to be changed it should go through the natural process of being ratified like our fore-fathers intended it to be. He writes that he wants Senators to be elected all at one time because doing it state by state is a long and difficult process. He feels that the more the Constitution is changed the more federalism will continue to fall. I believe he has a very good point and that changing the Constitution should only happen after the proper steps have been taken.
