From Wiki; "Critics of the Seventeenth Amendment claim that by altering the way senators are elected, the states lost any representation they had in the federal government." I know that it is beyond cheesy to quote and use Wiki, but sometimes they say just the right thing.

That quote from Wiki is an understatement. The 17thA, to quote the "Citizens Rulebook": "moved us from a complex Republic to a simple republic much like the style of the Soviet Union. State rights were lost and were plunged headlong into a democracy which our forefathers warned was the vilest form of government because it always ends in oppression."
