Assignment #5TPage

The article, "Will:The continuing fall of Federalism", was written by George F. Will and was featured in the Washington Post. The articel talks about Sen. Russ Feingold, trying to ammend the consitution, speciafically the sevententh ammendment. The seventeenth ammendement, stipulates popular election of senators this gives the states an importatnt role in determining the composition of the federal government. The state can put a temp. senator, until an official senator has been elected, and Feingold suggest that the temp. should be elected buy the people.

I think that Will wrote this to inform us about how some people in the government are trying to pull the government away from the vision the framers had.
