The Unconstitutional Amendment

[Keith Broaders]

Seven states that have never  ratified the 17th Amendment and are being denied their equal suffrage in the senate without their consent. The states are being denied the right to choose who will represent their state inthe U.S. Senate.

The Fifth Article in the Constitution clearly prohibits Conress  from proposing any leguslation that would deprive a state of their right to choose who wou;d represent their state in the Senate.

The states of Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, Kentucky, South Carolina, Utah and Virginia have never given their xonsent to the direct election of senators and should collectively refuse to comply with the provisions of the 17th Amendment.

When in the opinion of the legislature of a state believes that Federal mandates violate the Constitution that state has a right to refuse to comply. Recently several states have passed resolution nullifying Federal gun laws in their states.

Article V guarantees that no state shall be denied their equal suffrage in the senate without their consent. The seven states that did not ratify the 17th Amendment have not given their consent to surrender their Constitutional right to be equally represented in the senate.
