[Keith Broaders]

Article V on the Constitution  prohibits Congress from denying the states of their equal suffrage in the senate without their consent.

Members of the House were to be elected directly by the people while the senators were to be appointed by the legislatures of the states.

Thisarrangement created a balamce of power between the large and the small states and reduced the poenial of the tyranny of a majority..

When the 17th Amendment was ratofied the in 1913  our bicameral legislature has become a unicameral legislature with two houses representing a single constituency.

The 12 states with the largest populations have more electoral votes that  the remaining 38 states.

These states have never ratified the 17th Amendment and have not surrendered their right to be represented in the senate,

These staes should get together to disciss what we can and should do to defemd our Constitutional right to be  represented in the senate.
