Central to understanding why the 17th Amendment must be repealed is recognition that the extensive powers granted to the new government were designed under the assumption that the states would forever participate in it, that no fewer than thirteen distinct republican legislatures would continually cast watchful eyes over every proceeding of congress, the president and courts, and be ready to stomp on any violation of state prerogatives.

It is why the states agreed to specifically relinquish additional powers far beyond those in the Articles of Confederation, in Article I Section 10, and submit to the constitution and its pursuant laws as supreme law of the land.

Right but my question is about an apparent critical disparity between the states participating via senators that are elected directly by the people of the state versus elected by the state legislature. Both are state participation in the federal government.

I wanted to know what good, hard evidence there is that the results between the two different voting methods have critical disparity in representing the state.
