Quote:The way that The Constitution was written, you weren't supposed to vote directly for your Senator.  The Senate represents the States.  They are supposed to look out for the interests of their respective State Government, not constituents.  Representing individuals is (was) the job of the House of Representatives.

 

It gives power to the people who reside in each State to vote for their respective legislators that are going to look out for the best interests of their State.
True enough but like with a lot of things it changed with the times, in this case due to corruption and bribery mostly.
