can provide the basis for a critical argument.
Background
Your assignment for this term paper is as follows:
1. Provide a historical context for the 17th amendment. Discuss the events leading up to its
adoption. Since this era is discussed in materials covered in Unit Three, you may need to
review chapters in Foner that are relevant to this period before they are discussed in
lecture. This section should not be more than a couple of paragraphs and should
ultimately show that you are familiar with the events leading up to the ratification of the
17th amendment.
2. Review discussion on creating the Senate from Madison’s notes on the Constitutional
Convention (I have provided a date above on when some of the issues were discussed but
don’t limit your research to that day only). Use what you have learned from Madison to
form an opinion on why the Founding Fathers designated that the state legislatures were
to send representation to the Senate. What conclusions can you make on the connections
between the culture of the time period, the discussion of the Founding Fathers regarding
the makeup of the Senate, and their final decision as seen in the Constitution?
3. In your opinion, what were the consequences (both positive and negative) to adding the
17th amendment to the Constitution? Argue whether or not the changes presented by this
amendment were consistent with the intent of the Founding Fathers when they wrote the
Constitution. Explore through writing how the culture of the United States had changed
between the writing of the Constitution and the addition this amendment.
4. In addition to the resources used in this class you must find at least one additional reliable
outside source to support your writing.
