Smaller Government

[C_Clayton_Jones]

The framers has set up a federal government dividing powers between the states and the general government. One reason senators were chosen by the state legislatures was to give the states a say in Congress. Instead of fixing the problem they just allowed both houses to be elected by the people. The general government grew because there was no mechanism is place to prevent it from happening. It started during the Wilson administration and has not stopped.

Wrong.

Deficit spending has nothing to do with the 17th Amendment or Wilson.
