> The House of Representatives represents the people. The House of Representatives represented the people until 1929 and the Permanent Apportionment Act. The reasoning campaigned on for this act? To protect low population states from high population ones. The House represents the people more than the Senate, but it still provides proportionally more power per capita to lower population states than higher population ones. Repeal the 17th, overwrite the PAA, and we're back to something more closely resembling what the founding fathers intended. In the mean time, with the House having departed from their intent, it's just as reasonable for people to suggest the Senate depart from their intent too.
