Assignment 5 JThomas

This Article is was written by George F. Will and it was written on the SC State website. This article was written to discuss the downfall of Federalism. The author discusses how McCain and Feingold would like the 17th Amedment to be ratified but he feels like it will mess up our system of checks and balances.

I do not believe the state should be allowed to have anymore power than they already have. It seems like the more power the state has the more they abuse it. The executive authoriy should not be allowed to appoint members of the Senate. They should be voted in and not just allowed to join because one member says. I believe its bad to throw away federalism also. We have trusted in the Constitution for hundreds of years and we should continue down that road.
