100 years of Amendment XVII

[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

Interestingly, the sending of the 17th Amendment to the States by Congress was done to forestall the possibility of a Second Constitutional Convention.  Thirty-four states had called for a convention to propose this amendment, only two short of the number needed then.  It would have been interesting to see what might have happened had there been a convention then.
