Through the Constitution with Douglas V. Gibbs The 17th Amendment removed State representation in the federal government, centralizing the government in Washington, and diminishing the voice of the States.  Ratified during the progressive era, the amendment changed the dynamics of the American System, opening a path for tyranny in the central government.  By eliminating the States' ability to participate in the federal government, it removed their influence regarding their own interests, and introduced ideology into the Senate, placing the powers of advise and consent into the hands of directly elected officials.

Through the Constitution with Douglas V. Gibbs The 16th Amendment established an allowance for Congress to enact direct taxation.  The same year the Federal Reserve Act went into action.  The Progressive Era gained full steam in 1913, followed shortly after by the 17th Amendment.  Direct taxation was never supposed to be enacted, and it was a political game connected to the Bailey Bill that created the environment needed to "soak the rich."  As for the Federal Reserve Act, the democrats split the republican vote to achieve their dream of private international bankers issuing, and manipulating, American currency.  The more things change, the more they stay the same.
