MuadDon knows whats up.
People don't understand that the reason for dividing congress into separate houses was so there would be popular representation (house of representatives) and state representation (senate).
Making them both popular elections kind of defeated the purpose of having two houses to begin with.
There's still the fact that the Senate represents states equally, while the House represents the population, but that switch really fucked things worse than they were with the cronyism
It netfs the power of the individual states and centralizes power around money and entrenchment.
Pretty damaging to a republic
What were the people who advocated this trying to do?
What was the public sentiment?
Most states were effectively appointing crony senators who had direct ties to the state government
Article 1 established the lower house of congress.
