Why did the progressive movement support the direct election of senators?

History
1 answer:
erastovalidia [21]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

<h3><em>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 2 senators to a 6-year term. 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.</em></h3>

What are three reasons why Reconstruction failed to live up to its potential?
Nadya [2.5K]
<span>The three reasons why Reconstruction failed to live up to its potential are: 

1. There was a lack of unity in national government. 
This is because, Reconstruction happened after Americans' Civil War and some of the people in the government didn't like the idea of establishing this which caused the failures of bring the South America into the country, revive the economy and rebuild the broken landscape.

2. Not enough of the freedmen wanted to become free. Although Reconstruction wanted to infuse the freed slaves into the society, it did not successfully established. This was due to the rise of American organizations that made them feel insecure.

3. America could not overcome the issue of racism.
