re: #195 Hecuba’s daughter

The 16th and 17th Amendments were also critical to the functioning of our democracy. And there are organizations out there today trying to repeal the 17th Amendment. Think of the nightmare world we would be in without the direct election of senators.

So if the 17th were repealed, what would happen? The Senate would be abolished? Senators would be appointed by the President or some other entity?
