Answer:

Explanation:

William Baumol, the 88-year-old shoo-in for a Nobel Prize in economics, has spent years understanding why and how capitalism works. The key ingredient, he says, is the risk taker, the person willing to gamble time and money on an unproven idea. Since 1900 the U.S. has enjoyed a boom in productivity and living standards unparalleled in human history. The central actor in that rise has been the entrepreneur, supported by the four pillars of free enterprise: the free flow of ideas, the free flow of capital, open and fair competition, and respect for property rights. "It is like a mechanical watch, where if one wheel is missing the whole thing stops," says Baumol. On the following pages we kick off a new series in which we profile entrepreneurs who are champions of each pillar. Paul Tierney puts money into capital-starved Africa, seeking above-average returns. Krisztina Holly speeds the flow of ideas out of her university so they can turn into businesses. Alan Miller is one of the staunchest advocates for private competition in health care. Web pirate Peter Sunde, an unlikely hero of property rights, has a new company helping digital creators get paid for their work. They're proving Baumol's economic theory every day.

How did the seventeenth amendment to the u.S. Constitution give more political power to the individual voter?
Inessa [10]

17th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution: Direct Election of U.S. Senators (1913)

The Constitution, as it was adopted in 1788, made the Senate an assembly where the states would have equal representation. Each state legislature would elect two senators to 6-year terms. Late in the 19th century, some state legislatures deadlocked over the election of a senator when different parties controlled different houses, and Senate vacancies could last months or years. In other cases, special interests or political machines gained control over the state legislature. Progressive reformers dismissed individuals elected by such legislatures as puppets and the Senate as a "millionaire’s club" serving powerful private interests.

One Progressive response to these concerns was the "Oregon system," which utilized a state primary election to identify the voters’ choice for Senator while pledging all candidates for the state legislature to honor the primary’s result. Over half of the states adopted the "Oregon system," but the 1912 Senate investigation of bribery and corruption in the election of Illinois Senator William Lorimer indicated that only a constitutional amendment mandating the direct election of Senators by a state’s citizenry would allay public demands for reform.

When the House passed proposed amendments for the direct election of Senators in 1910 and 1911, they included a "race rider" meant to bar Federal intervention in cases of racial discrimination among voters. This would be done by vesting complete control of Senate elections in state governments. A substitute amendment by Senator Joseph L. Bristow of Kansas provided for the direct election of Senators without the "race rider." It was adopted by the Senate on a close vote before the proposed constitutional amendment itself passed the Senate. Over a year later, the House accepted the change, and on April 8, 1913, the resolution became the 17th amendment.
