the 17th was not demanded by the people...

it was demanded because south carolina could not elect at that time a representative..

therefore, south carolina declared that they were taxed without representation..

and the aftermath of that was the 17th amendment...

an amendment that removed the stated from the federal government and gave that right to nationalist parties..

you, sir are either uneducated or a troll..
if you are uneducated, learn from this experience..

if not, jim rob, i call on your extremely educated response...

"the 17th was not demanded by the people..."

Yes, sir, it most certainly was. Stop wasting my time with the rest of your hysterical rantings.
