Answer:
Did this change bring the government closer to the people or did it change the way elections
The fact that now senators are directly chosen by the people undoubtely brings government closer to the citizens of each state.
Senators tend to have more name recognition than representatives, and when they campaign, they embody the issues of their states, which helps people understand what they do, and make their decision.
Are senators more accountable to the people now or are senators mainly concerned with re-election?
Most politicians are concerned about their re-election, because their political power depends on being elected. However, to be re-elected, they have to convince their voters, and this creates accountability with the people.
The Senate is appointed by a state's legislature and not directly elected by the electorate, with each term lasting six years, whereas representative terms run for only two years. With the benefit of more time, the Senate is more stable meaning that decisions can be followed through on; this also has its pitfalls meaning that Senators don't reflect, always, the current mood of the country. With that said, I think that the Senate should have relatively more stability than the House of Representatives, but perhaps, should be re-elected every 3 years, not 6.
