For 125 years the Federal government adopted the way of electing senators stated in the constitution of 1788, which consists of electing senators by state legislatures. During the 1890s the House of Representatives passed several proposals of a new constitutional amendment for the direct election of senators, but it was until April 8th, 1913 that the 17th amendment was included for direct election of senators.

What happens if the police illegally seize evidence in violation of the fourth amendment?
Tom [10]

In case that the police or any other authority proceeds against the right granted in the Fourth Ammendment, their findings, having been illegally obtained, can not be presented before any court as evidence against any individual, nor a judge could allow to have them as evidence in a trial, because this would ignore the Sixth Ammendment by violating the right to an impartial trial.
