The 17th amendment is a law that gives American citizens the ability to elect their Senators. Before this time, Senators were picked by the state legislature.

This ability of the citizens to pick their Senators more closely aligns with goal of the framers of the US Constitution. This is because this law gives American citizens more political power and more say in their government. One of the goals of the new US Constitution was to be a government "by the people" and "for the people." This new amendment shows that the US government is indeed living up to its word.

The correct answer is the "pro-life, pro-family" coalition

This was the coalition organized by Phyllis Schlafly who was notorious for her campaign against the Equal Rights Amendment and her support of family life and her fight against things like abortions. She did manage to win in the end since the Equal Rights Amendment never got ratified and was forgotten since it didn't get passed in the adequate amount of time.
