Assignment #5 S. Blackwelder

In the article, "The continuing fall of federalism," written by George F. Will, of the Washington Post, appeared on TheState.com, South Carolina's home page.

Will writes about Wisconsin Senator, Russ Feingold and his intentions of going through with trying to change the 17th Amendment. Feingold is in agreement with McCain on this issue.

In the past, governors have not chosen Senator positions very responsibly, therefore the decision has gone to the American citizens. Feingold is trying to restore the power of choice to the state legislatures, believing they choose stronger, more efficient Senators.

This article is aimed towards Americans who are in jeopardy of losing this right.
