The Road To Mass Democracy: Original Intent And The Seventeenth Amendment, Christopher Hoebeke
The Road To Mass Democracy: Original Intent And The Seventeenth Amendment, Christopher Hoebeke
Christopher H Hoebeke
Until 1913 and passage of the Seventeenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, US senators were elected by state legislatures, not directly by the people.
