Should the Senate be elected or appointed​

Answer:

I personally think the Senate should be elected and that it is to stay that way. Government would be too powerful since the source of it's power is The People. If the people cannot directly vote and just have to watch as they're chosen in front of them, they might have to overthrow the "tyranny".

Explanation:

"Voters have elected their senators in the privacy of the voting booth since 1913. The framers of the Constitution, however, did not intend senators to be elected in this way and included in Article I, section 3, "The Senate of the United States shall be composed of two Senators from each state, chosen by the legislature thereof for six Years; and each Senator shall have one Vote." The election of delegates to the Constitutional Convention established the precedent for state selection. The framers believed that in electing senators, state legislatures would cement their tie with the national government, which would increase the chances for ratifying the Constitution. They also expected that senators elected by state legislatures would be able to concentrate on the business at hand without pressure from the populace," as it says in senate.gov.

This means that Senate is usually elected. They should stay it that way- it's as if changing an amendment, which would be a long and stressful process. Which means it will never happen. The People are the source of the government's power and they should stay as it otherwise the US' gov't may be seen as too powerful.

sergeinik [125]

Answer: Corporate money will make elections less likely to reflect the public will

Explanation: Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission is a landmark United States Supreme Court case concerning campaign finance. The Court held that the free speech clause of the First Amendment prohibits the government from restricting independent expenditures for political purposes by corporations and organisations.

Justice Stevens had a dissenting opinion which goes thus; the Court's opinion is thus a rejection of the common sense of the American people, who have recognized a need to prevent corporations from undermining self government since the founding, and who have fought against the distinctive corrupting potential of corporate electioneering since the days of Theodore Roosevelt.
